Chic Galleria Magazine Gets a Dynamic New Look

The Premier Online Lifestyle Magazine Unveils its Website Redesign

10.04.2009 – (Tulsa, OK) - ChicGalleria.com relaunches today with a dynamic new website design. Editor-in-Chief, Beth Anderson desired a fresh new look for the online magazine that highlights the superb content of her contributors and is engaging to her readers.

Founded in 2008, ChicGalleria.com took it's place among the premier online lifestyle magazines for women with over 2,500 subscribers to the weekly newsletter and over one-million monthly hits to the site. With the ever-changing trends of the social media landscape, Anderson, wanted to revamp not only the look and feel of the magazine but the way readers use the site as well. "We want to not only engage our readers but also foster a sense of community," says Anderson. "We want our readers to come Chic Galleria for the information but to stay for the discussion that plays out in the comments."

In addition to the brighter and more appealing layout, some of the site's new enhancements are: condensed categories for easy navigation, individual author pages so finding the bio and the articles of your favorite Chic Galleria contributors is seamless, product giveaways page, and a "Vintage" section where the archived favorites can still be accessed.

In the near future, Anderson also plans to add a video component and a "You Ask - We Answer" feature where readers can ask questions directly to the writers to make the site even more interactive.
