Our new Diet Doctor design is live!

February 12 2018 by in About Diet Doctor

Welcome to our new redesigned site. It contains a number of improvements – but it’s still a work in progress. I hope you’ll have patience with it as we keep removing bugs and adding more features.

We’re aiming to make it easier to navigate the site through our new top menu, where you’ll find all the information and free tools you need to follow a low carb or keto lifestyle. Looking through the top menu you can also for example find our recommended blogs.

We have restructured the site a bit and pages will now also work better on mobile devices. We have a new look for our low-carb news page and a new custom font, called Diet Doctor Sans.

Instead of the membership front page, you can now find videos via the low-carb TV menu. You’ll find meal plans under the recipe menu. When you’re logged in as a member you’ll also have direct links from the start page.

What do you think about the redesign? We’d greatly appreciate your opinion about it and what you would like to add or change, so that we can keep improving it. Feel free to leave a comment below.

WOW, I like the new clean format, but still wandering around finding the places I always frequent. Like anything new it will take a little time but it's pretty impressive! Very updated and modern!

Hmm. I like the clean lines but where is the "Comments" link now? That's my favourite go to!

Loving the new look! Well done guys. Only issue i’ve Found so far is on my iPad the news button is overlapped by my membership link so when trying to access news the first two attempts I got my members drop down instead. I’ve not tried it on any other devices yet so maybe this issue is just limited to iPad users.

The new look site is impressive, and I agree that new members should find it easier to navigate. When visiting you, I usually also go and have a look at the blog news section- a one stop shop for what is happening in the lowcarb/ keto/paleo world. I can't see it on the new site :( Have you removed it permanently?

New site looks great. Easy to navigate. Love that I can go to TV and get all the video's together in one place.

Thanks for all your hard work. You have such a great team.

"News" in the title bar is a bit misleading. Maybe "Community" is a better word choice?

Replying to Tracey I am using Android on a Asus tablet have the same overlap of news menu with the log in although it could be br owser specific have the Firefox browser requesting both mobile and desk top sites. No problems with the menu on my huawei Android phone. As Ed comment 11 pointed out news, all news and latest news on the desktop and tablet needs to be sorted out the links are too much repetition that can mislead visitors. Deeper into the site I like the smaller images on the desktop and use of simple blue and black print on the white background the columnist sections very good with the use of lists further down the page to view previous posts. Success stories page still needs a tidy up there is no easy way to identify whether people are listed by date or which year they were posted to DD. Finally on all pages I viewed the comments box and comments section is much easier to scroll down to and find being placed immediately beneath the story. As Bev comment 2 said the latest comments link is not visible on desktop or tablet but recent comments link is visible listed in the mobile phone menu under news menu. Finally have just viewed the use of lists sorted by date on the member news page this format is what I would like on the success stories page. All in all the site is improved with smaller images much easier to scroll well done to the DD team.

Thanks for all the suggestions – we're working on many of them, and several will be online within a day or two.

I liked it better before the upgrade; easier to navigate and seemed more relaxing. I miss seeing the star-rating on the recipe pictures as well as the chance to vote.

I was always frustrated because I could not use your site from my iPad: it was always crashing after 3-5 seconds in Safari.

Now it is not only usable (I write this from my iPad), but it also looks great on mobile.

I'm not going to lie, at first it was a shock. I'm not good with change, but thus far, I'm navigating very well. It especially works well on my phone.

I've not checked out the whole new site yet but I miss the Pinterest button at the top of the recipe. Found the button right down the bottom of the page. Not very convenient way down there.

Really appreciate the content of your site Andreas, however my humble opinion is that the graphics and 'cool' features is getting in the way of the message, even making getting around the site cumbersome, especially as it is life and death for many. As Marshall Macluan said (spelling is probably incorrect) 'the medium is the message' - and the medium is getting in the way of the message.

Again, I really appreciate all that you have done here.

I find the site loads quickly however the topics menus etc do not fit my iPad screen which is a bit frustrating. Not sure what this is happening but I note some other people have the same issue. Still like the site fir information etc and for keeping up to date. So much to learn and try. Thank you Cheryl

Love it, it's clean and very visual, however, would love to be able to print the weekly menu and ingredient to buy on 1 A4 page. Whenever I try to print to go on my fridge, it leaves me with several pages and I have to do the same with the ingredients / recipes. So I don't bother with the recipes. Shame, as they are very inviting!
Well done for improvement though and love the blogs and videos!

I like the new design but miss the Health section in main tabs. I link to your BP, T2, other health guides often to answer questions on forums...hard to find now. Searching for specific articles also harder to me. Tried to find your good overview article on gallstones, and success stories with gallstones mentioned came up first. Your own guides should be the top result. Thank you for always improving the value of your site.

All looks good, works very well in Chrome on both my PC and iPad/Android devices.
The one thing that would be of massive benefit to me would be a tool to create & save my own meal plans for the week - essentially a blank template that could be populated with whichever meals you choose from the vast Dietdoctor database. I know you can edit the existing meal plans in a similar way, but there doesn't appear to be a way to then save the edited plan (unless I've missed it somewhere, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility of course!).
Either way, very impressed - keep up the good work!

They are available under the "low carb and keto" menu. Perhaps not an optimal place, we'll keep thinking about how to place them.

Searching for specific articles also harder to me. Tried to find your good overview article on gallstones, and success stories with gallstones mentioned came up first. Your own guides should be the top result. Thank you for always improving the value of your site.

You're absolutely right. Our search will soon be much improved.

I won't be leaving! Your work has meant so much to me. The new format is taking some getting used to however, and I liked the way it was. Was it broken? I don't think so. So why fix it? But anyway, onwards and upwards. Best wishes.
