New look for Gippsland.com!

Brand new website design breathes life into Gippsland.com

By Emma Kae - 30th October 2001 - Back to News

Welcome to the brand new look for Gippsland.com! The fresh design incorporates user-friendliness with a classy appearance that is easy on the eyes.

The new blueprint was recently deemed ‘spectacular’ by local design wizard Wayne Forsyth and has been commended by much of the Gippsland.com audience.

‘I think that simplicity is the key here,’ said one user. ‘The website offers a lot of information. Displaying the user’s options in this manner makes using the website simple for even the novice in the community.’ Such feedback is very encouraging.
