A new look… but still the same Node!

As you may have noticed, the Node is looking a little different today!

This year we are celebrating our 5^th anniversary, and 5 years is a long time in the life of a website. As many of you told us in the survey we ran a few months ago, the Node looked old fashioned and cluttered. Its look was so 2010!

So, as a birthday gift to itself, in the last few months we have been working hard on a new look for the Node. We took your feedback and tried to make the site more modern, less busy and more functional. You will notice that there is now a single, simpler side bar. Much of the content that used to feature on the side bars, such as the links to databases and societies, is now in our new Resources section, which you can access from the menu bar. You can also find older content more easily by navigating the new Archive area. You also told us that you find the jobs page particularly useful. To make it easier for you to view all available jobs, you can now access the jobs directly from the menu bar. We welcome your feedback on our new design and how the website works, so if you have any comments, good or bad, drop us an email via this contact form!

Alongside the new site we also have an updated logo!  The new Node logo incorporates elements from the Company of Biologists logo, the not-for-profit publisher behind the Node, since we couldn’t exist without their support.

The Node may have a new look and be easier to use, but at its core it really hasn’t changed. It is still your community site, the place to find out what’s new in developmental biology, and where you can post and comment without needing to ask us for permission. We hope that you like our new look!
