ALPHA Prototype

My Gap:

A site with the news that I want to read. A global online newspaper with fine tuning filters to my interests, locations, stop words, etc. Each user will receive only the news that it is really interesting. For each user the same online newspaper will be different. For example, you can configure to see only positive news from your region and several countries in which you are interested.

Primary User Needs:

GOnews can adapt to all personal interests
GOnews is looking good
Mobile accessibility
GOnews is easy to use
GOnews Configuration is simple

Question 5.1 Concept testing

In what way might I make the Global online newspaper (GOnews) more user friendly website design.

Primary User Needs:

GOnews can adapt to all personal interests
GOnews is looking good
Mobile accessibility
GOnews is easy to use
GOnews Configuration is simple

My target audience is very wide - all people who read news. After talking to friends and family, I realize that minimalist design is optimal for this project. Also we need wide functional in configurations (filters to my interests, locations, stop words, etc). Most of people like to read news from PC, but many use mobile devices. An ability to hide a political agitation (like in concept "C") can be only in configuration. Most of people don't need a button "hide political agitation" on the article.

So I need a mobile version of the site
