I FREAKIN LUV IT!!!! Clutch you are the BEST!!!!
Looking good, Clutch!!! Congrats on the great new look.
HOT HOT HOT ! LOVE IT
Wow, this is the business!
I’m in love!!
GREAT JOB CLUTCH!!
Looking real good, the old site was fantastic, the upgrade is fantastic PLUS!!!
I LOVE IT!!
In the spirit of giving honest feedback, I can dig the layout but sizewise it looks a little cluttered and busy.
I used to seriously love the flow of the blog format. Made it easier to read. Do we have to click each topic individually now or is there an option to see it as a full blog?
I have alot of respect for your social commentary. Keep doing your thing.
Fly1,
Thanks for your comments! With this redesign we wanted to get away from the “blog” feeling. As you know, we are a online magazine and not a blog. We also wanted to show our growth and this site is definitely shows that off.
The only section of Clutch that is a blog is our “news.gossip.info” but the rest of the site as you may know is updated monthly.
You will have to click the different sections in order to view the departments. Thanks again for your feedback and supporting Clutch!
Cluttered/busy?….where? Clutch! This is beautiful. Remember not everyone is going to love or support change, but it is necessary for continued success and you guys deserve it!
Congrats!
Dede (and all who worked together on the redesign), I love it!! The new features are hot. Change is a good thing.
i am lovin the new site….sooooo nice!!!! i love the new navigation bars…..its great!!!!
The new site is sizzling! :)
OOOH! Your site is a constant source of inspiration and jealousy for me!! congrats on the upgrade…I hope you are all doing well. xoxo, C
I love the new look!
I live in the England and only discovered this site late last year and know I check your page at least once a day! The new layout is brilliant. Keep up the good work.
OH MY!!! Clutch looks fabulous!! You have completely changed the site and I absolutely LOVE IT!! Keep doing your thing Ms. Dee Dee….love ya
Love the new design, it’s hot just like Clutch Magazine! Keep doing what you’re doing, we’ll keep watching and learning!
diggin the new design. You’re right as a magazine this rocks. I do understand Fly1 as far as blog aesthetics, so thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the clarification Fly1 I was starting to miss the old layout as it was easier to read but since you are going for the online mag look then..hooray!!
It’s funny that people thought Clutch was a blog. Since day one they have been an online magazine. What other site interviews A-list celebrities and have contents like Clutch. It must be so frustrating for such a great magazine to be called a blog over and over when clearly they are so much more. I love the new design. People need to know you are a up and coming magazine that is about to get even bigger!
The upgrade is fabulous! Keep up the good work, Clutch!
