OnThisDay.com Revamped and Relaunched to Cater for 1 Million Monthly Visitors
Tauranga based website OnThisDay.com is proud to announce its revamped and redesigned website which makes learning about history fun for children and adults
alike.
Central to the new design is the use of channels to allow the site’s over 1 million visitors to filter hundreds of daily
events, birthdays and deaths by music, sport or by film and television. Alternatively, the more celebrity orientated entries can be excluded and a visitor can focus just on history.
Founder and Managing Editor, James Graham says the new design has been “very well received by the thousands of people
around the world who have made the site part of their daily routine”.
Mr Graham, who travelled Latin America and Asia for the last five years, living and developing the site in places like
Colombia, Mexico and Borneo, has been able to add a unique perspective and set of knowledge to the site. As he says “it
is a business that can be run almost anywhere” and goes hand in hand with the “passion to learn more about the world and
share that knowledge in an approachable format with as many people as possible”.
“OnThisDay.com now looks great on any device or screen and showcases the most significant events in history from our huge archive of
historical events, famous birthdays and deaths”.
The site is also edited by a team of postgraduate students and graduates from the University of Auckland and an eclectic
mix of international history lovers. Mr Graham says this “mix of experience, perspectives and interests gives the site
an edge over similar reference sites”.
Popular with students and history lovers in New Zealand and around the world, Mr Graham hopes the new design “encourages
students to gain an interest in the famous people and historical figures that have helped set and alter the course of
history”.
The new design brings together the content from three sites, HistoryOrb.com, MusicOrb.com and TodayinSport.com into one
integrated site.
