If you are one of our regular readers, then no doubt you will be surprised by Manila Reviews’ brand spanking new look!

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve changed:

NEW THEME

We’ve taken out all the primary colors (which on hindsight were a bit blinding – I apologize) and focused on giving you content and images. The theme colors are hues of browns and touches of the Philippine flag’s colors so we’re still very much focused on our country.

 

NEW LOGO
We have a new logo courtesy of OneDayGraphics.com. They have a pretty sweet deal: just feature their website and their work and you get a logo for free. The studies they presented are expertly done and beautifully crafted, and for the price (FREE!), it’s a BARGAIN.

The logo we chose highlights the fact that we don’t just focus on food anymore. We are featuring finds around Manila that make people say “WOW! May ganun pala dito???”

 

NEW FUNCTIONALITY: QR Codes
We added QR Codes to our pages! Basically, QR Codes are similar to grocery barcodes but instead of just containing product information & price, they can contain text, URL (website address), a vCard (contact info), or many other types of information. These are commonly used with camera phones.

Manila Reviews QR Code

QR Code to ManilaReviews.com

In Manila Reviews, we use QR codes in 2 ways:
1. The big the QR code at the bottom of each page opens your phone’s browser and bring you to the current page — you can bring our recommendations with you!
2. Scanning the QR codes at the end of our newer posts will save the reviewee’s contact information on your phone!

You can download apps here: iPhone: Red Laser, Android: Barcode Scanner, Nokia, Blackberry

 

NEW MOBILE COMPATIBILITY
Our blog is now easily viewable on your mobile devices. We have pre-formatted our pages so that they are easily viewable on your iPhones, iPads, Androids, Tablets, Nokias, or Blackberries! Just visit using your phone and you’ll see our new mobile look.

We hope you enjoy all the new look and, of course, these new doo hickies! Tell us what you think by commenting below! :)
