Over the past few months we've been working on improving the format of articles. Adding colours, coding boxes etc.

We're getting pretty close (although the colour coding still needs some work).

What do you think of the latest version the mobile article (for formatting not content, ignore the large table of moible prices as that's impssible to format properly)

View very welcome. The next step is to get the various boxes etc designed properly with graded colours, but I wanted to get the general look right first before hard coding.

As an example of old articles see this one http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1050245982,43764,

    Black writing on purple may be hard to read on some browsers.

    Looks like it's ok though as you haven't had any comments! :confused:

    One thing I would really, really, really like is a printer friendly version of the articles, for ease of printing and having to avoid printing landscape (this means more paper is used).

    black text on red background and black text on purple background is hard to read.

    White on red, was much clearer.

    Look good though!!
