Hachette to Relaunch Ellegirl.com

Hachette Filipacchi Media plans to relaunch Ellegirl.com, with an emphasis on multiple platforms that let users personalize the site and that, the company hopes, will promote a sense of community.

The relaunch, set for Oct. 23, comes six months after the publisher unexpectedly announced that it was axing the print edition of Elle Girl. The new site will offer daily mobile text alerts and online video, in addition to the section that can be personalized by users, writes Mediaweek.

Ellegirl.com saw 10 million page views in Sept., up from 6.2 million in May, according to the company.
