Welcome to the new look SouthportVisiter.co.uk

Find out what we've changed and why we've given southportvisiter.co.uk a revamp

Bigger and better images and a fresh, new design - these are just two of the changes you will notice on the new Southport Visiter website - delivering all your tried and trusted content in a more appealing way.

  • Get the headlines you want direct to your inbox once a week

  • Search the most in-depth listings guide in Merseyside

  • Look for stories in your area

  • Join in and comment via a Facebook log-in

  • Enjoy our stunning galleries and the pictures taken by our award-winning photographers 

  • Keep up-to-date with our mobile website for your news on the go

At www.southportvisiter.co.uk you'll find a greater emphasis on new and updated articles - with the date or time of publication on every story on page.

We’ve also added “updated”, “exclusive” and “live” icons so that you can easily identify the very latest content.

You'll also find it easier to navigate your way around our website thanks to the simplified structure which means you can find what you're looking for more easily.

Hover over each channel and use our new drop-down menu which gives you shortcuts to all the sections while our Hot Topics at the top of each page let you know what subjects are trending.

We’ve also added more topic pages so stories about key people, places and organisation are grouped in one place. 

One of our favourite new features is the full-screen picture galleries which are mobile and tablet friendly.

You can see it on our Southport and Cheshire Lines Extension Railway (SCLER) remembered article here . We think it really showcases our images. What do you think?

Our mobile site has also been revamped because we know that’s how a lot of you want to get your news.

The Southport Visiter is committed to the people of Southport and the very many diverse and distinct communities which make our region so great.

Hover over the In Your Area tab on the navigation bar and you’ll see a drop-down menu to take you to a section of the site dedicated to your community. Or you can click the In Your Area button to explore and select a location from a map.

Equally exciting is our great new what's on listings service , powered in partnership with Planvine, which means you can find out just what's going on - from West End shows on your doorstep to small gigs by the latest Southport bands, we showcase just how much is going on in the North West.

Plus you can find previews, reviews and great content from our dedicated team of what's on writers as they bring you the very best from Southport's music, entertainment and arts scene.

We’ve also added a contacts list at the bottom of every page to make it easy for you to get in touch with us: whether you want to send us a story or enquire about advertising, the Stay Connected hub is the best place for you to reach out to our team.

Joining the new Southport Visiter community could not be simpler: just visit an article page and select the “Login with Facebook” option. Sign in with your social media account and you’re in.

If you don’t have a Facebook account you will be unable to comment on our site for now. But we hope you’ll think the site changes are worth it.

You can also sign-up for our weekly email newsletter to receive the best Southport news in your inbox once a week.

So why have we made these changes?

We wanted to make the Southport Visiter more tailored to you and your needs. We also wanted to make it more accessible from your mobile.

At the same time we wanted to create a website that’s more enjoyable, informative and up to date. Enjoy. And let us know what you think.
