WELCOME to the new-look Wiltshire Times and Chippenham News website.

There are a number of changes and we hope you enjoy exploring.

Here’s a brief overview of some new features:

The navigation of our site has changed – the sections are now listed across the top of the page, rather than down the left-hand side.
You will find weather, live traffic information and what’s on listings at the top right of our homepage.
Blogs, columns, letters and the forum are now grouped together under 'Your Say' – just click on the link on the top navigation bar.
Where Are They Now? and Lost And Found have moved to the forums section - CLICK HERE.
Our new, improved homepage allows you to see what’s newest and best on our site at a glance – you can see pictures, video, the editor’s choice, breaking news and much more.

You may find some sections have moved, so please have a good look round – you can CLICK HERE for a site map.

If you have any problems or questions, leave your comments below or email us by CLICKING HERE.

Not sure if I like this "new look"....Why change things when they are working well? Is it just to confuse us?

Don't like it. Too complicated and not user-friendly.

I agree with the sentiments above. Too fussy. The extra security fluff is a pain and unnecessary.

What an absolutely appaling example of web site design! I hope the WT didnt pay anyone to cobble together this load of old tosh. Whoever signed this off as "fit for use" should be sacked. There's no order to it, so you can't find anything. They've tried to get colours and pictures in but in doing so have just created a dogs dinner.
Bring the old format back.

I don't like. Far too complicated to use - bring back the old site!

OK, so a lot of people don't like the layout and colours. You'd sort of expect this as people generally don't like change.

None the less, there are some functional problems with the site. When using a scroll button on the mouse the page doesn't scroll smoothly but stutters. It seems that the culprit is the inserted ad between 'local advertisers' and 'local information'. You should go back to your site designers and get them to investigate. Also window resizing is very slow. All adds up to poor design, I'm afraid.

It is a very busy webpage layout.
My main problem is that you can't search for an article in the current month.
The Archive search works OK but only for prior months.
