Editorial websites

Editorial websites are built for reading: magazines, journals, newsletters and long-form storytelling. Their design is measured in how long people stay and how much they read.

The jury looks at typography first: comfortable line length, a clear hierarchy and type choices with a voice. Strong editorial sites mix text, images and interactive pieces without breaking the reading flow, and they make archives easy to browse by topic or author. Reading on a phone should feel as good as on a desktop. Pages need to load quickly despite large images, and ads and pop-ups should not interrupt the text.
