The this is network of websites from Northcliffe Electronic Publishing are being relaunched with a redesign and re-engineered platform.

Two sites – thisisderbyshire.co.uk and thisisleicestershire.co.uk – were the first to appear in their new form, and the remaining 24 sites will go live at regular intervals between now and July.

The pages, linked to Northcliffe’s daily, evening and weekly newspapers around the country, now more clearly identify the newspaper brand which drives each site.

The redesign process has enabled sites which had previously been fed by two major titles to be split into two sites, each one focused on just one newspaper brand.

This will mean that the Western Daily Press, Bristol Evening Post, The Citizen, Gloucestershire Echo, the Press & Journal and Aberdeen Evening Express will have their own sites, rather than competing for space on a shared one.

thisisplymouth.co.uk was the latest to see the changes introduced.

Nottingham is due to migrate to the new platform when it goes live on Monday, with South Devon, Hull and Exeter due to follow soon.
