CORE releases a new front-end

Petr Knoth, Tuesday 9 Apr 2019

We are very excited to announce that CORE has released a new front-end marking the end of Phase 1 of front-end improvements, which will continue with 2 more phases. The key highlights of the new UI are:

A more modern yet functional look and feel.
Support for mobile devices.
A new and better presentation of CORE’s mission and services.
Cross-browser support covering over 95% of CORE’s users.
Accessibility improvements.
Removal of single point of failure dependencies, taking full advantage of CORE’s high availability infrastructure.

But what is an end to one thing is a start to another. The objectives of Phase 2 are now:

Taking CORE’s search experience to a new level.
New functionalities for the online CORE Reader
Improvement to some existing static pages

Special thanks here to the everyone involved in this release: Viktor Yakubiv, Tom Davey, Matteo Cancellieri, Balviar Notay, Samuel Pearce, Sergei Misak, Svetlana Rumyanceva, Nancy Pontika and Petr Knoth.
