THE Dorset Echo has launched a new mobile website making it even easier to access all the latest news, travel and sport.

On average the Dorset Echo website has received 230,106 visitors each month this year and the number of people using their mobile phones to view articles online has more than doubled in the past year.

To cater for our rapidly growing mobile audience we’ve introduced a new mobile-responsive site making it simpler and easier for readers to stay up-to-date while on the move.

When you visit dorsetecho. co.uk on your smartphone you will now automatically be directed to the mobile-friendly site, instead of having to navigate through the desktop version.

It has the same features as the desktop site including the latest traffic and travel news, national news and local news. The top ten stories are listed at the top of the homepage followed by the ten most read stories below.
