If you’re reading this, then you will have noticed that we’ve relaunched our website. It’s got a new look and a new attitude – and a few new tricks up its sleeve, too.
The best way to discover the new site is to play around. You’ll find a new search function, a handy list of the Eat Out 500, the best restaurants in SA, our “Best of” guides all grouped together, wonderful competitions and much more. When you search for a restaurant, you can also see other eateries that are nearby or similar, and when you read an article, we now suggest others with related themes that you might also enjoy.
You’ll also discover a bit less, because we have cleaned things up a bit. In particular, the design is now in line with the 2014 Eat Out magazine. (Buy one immediately if you haven’t yet! It’s not a printed version of the website; it’s a lovely sit-back-with-a-coffee-and-be-inspired kind of read). For the first time ever, our site is also responsive, which means that the design adjusts to the device you’re using. Nifty, right?
But, as with all new sites, there are some issues – glitches, errors, bugs, broken links, call it what you like – and we hope you bear with us while we sort it out. If you spot anything that we haven’t, or want to give us some feedback (good or bad, we want it all), please send it to info@eatout.co.za. We would love to hear from you.
Happy browsing!
Just letting you know that when viewing the new site in Google Chrome, it cuts off the custom heading font terribly on the secondary pages H2’s H3s’ and sometimes H1’s. I’m using Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m
Hi Elzabi. Thanks very much for letting us know. The team is looking into it. (And we’ve confiscated the developers’ cookies in the mean time.)
Refreshing new look!.
To be honest I liked the old look – it felt more homey. The new site looks like it was designed to look like Men’s Health. Maybe it’s just the colouring.
What happened to the patrons’ reviews ?
I find it difficult to distinguish between reviews and advertisements – especially in the “new” magazine. No reviews are attributed and the fonts are so different for each restaurant. Very difficult to find one’s way around. Maybe it’s modern but it’s not helpful.
