New Features of Sightline’s Website

We launched an improved new website in November 2024. Here’s what you can expect.

Sightline Institute went live with a new website in November 2024. It was an overdue upgrade and refresh to our primary publishing platform that we hope readers will find user-friendlier and more attractive.  

Below we detail some of the features and updates you can expect to find on the new site. We invite your feedback and flagging any bugs or 404s you may encounter as we settle into our new digital home. 

Features

  • We prioritized accessible design choices in content across our website, including for readers with low or no vision or using screen readers. So the new look and feel isn’t just more attractive; it’s also more inclusive for anyone who wants to view and use Sightline’s solutions research. 
  • Another accessibility win: users accessing sightline.org from a mobile device will enjoy a much-improved aesthetic and functional experience than our old site offered.  
  • We’ve simplified site navigation and tagging, so first-time and longtime users can better find the topics and projects they’re looking for.  
  • We’ve overhauled the search function so that its results are more helpful and complete. 
  • Sightline Daily, our longtime, reader-favorite morning news roundup email, has been renamed Sightline News Picks. Given that it publishes three times a week now rather than five and that new subscribers may be seeking a more intuitive product name, we made the switch. 
  • The Sightline News Picks will no longer have their own dedicated page on the website, as that proved confusing to some users seeking press information or news about Sightline itself. To view the News Picks, readers will need to subscribe to the email
  • Articles will no longer host comments. This function made more sense when Sightline’s website functioned more like a blog than a research library. For readers interested in engaging on an article—for corrections, clarifications, or collaborations—researchers’ contact information, as always, is readily available on their staff profile pages

We’ll update this page with any broadly useful information based on questions and input from readers.
