14. I kinda had a priority order for this

The thing about this redesign is it’s actually 12 different designs. There are different layouts for desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone. Then there are the Default Mode, Night Mode, and Skinner Mode versions of each page. So for every page on DU4 there are 12 layouts.

There is some crossover between mobile devices and vertically-held tablets. Given the number of designs I had to create, I opted to keep it simple and display the mobile version of the site on vertical tablets. However this obviously doesn’t account for people like yourself who are used to seeing a desktop view on a vertical tablet.

But here’s the thing, now that the test is up and running and we’re seeing that it seems to be working well in most areas, now I can focus on the things that were a lower priority when it came to getting ready for the testing phase. That means I can take another look at the vertical tablet view and use your feedback to see how it can be improved.

So it might take a while longer but we’ll get there eventually.
