Public Website - 2.1.08 Release Notes
Release Date: January 5, 2024
Page Display Improvements
Continuing with the same look and feel as our previous releases, the pages within our public website now focus even more on providing users with the ability to quickly see the highlights and messaging of each page.
By removing some of the page's descriptive text and instead placing it within cards, viewers can now quickly see information they may be interested in, rather than having to read large chunks of text.
Additionally, we've added several Call-To-Action options to the public webpages so that viewers can obtain additional information when they request it.
From a functionality standpoint, we have also redesigned the pages that display our Blog Articles and our Professionals pages.
Blog Articles
In the original version of MHParks.com, our blog articles were displayed to the viewer after an administrator added it to the back end or our system. Then in preparation of the release of version 2.0.00 these blog articles were housed and displayed using an embedded 3rd party app. This method of displaying our blog articles was utilized simple to help with the release times of version 2.0.00.
Part of the issue with this method was the ability to style and format the embedded pages so that they seamlessly matched the style of MHParks.com. Another issue was the ability of the embedded articles to be properly served to web crawlers and index properly.
Release 2.1.08 addressed these limitation by once again bringing the Blog Articles back in-house. With this enhancement the main Blog Article page and the associated Blog Articles are now styled in a manor that matches our site's styling in a much better way.
Additionally, having the articles stored within our system now allows web crawlers to properly crawl and index each article in a much more predictable and efficient manor.
Professionals Pages
Since the release of 2.0.00, our Professionals page (where users can promote themselves using our Professionals solution) has simply been a single page that displays all of the professionals.
With the release of 2.1.08 the main page of Professionals has been redesigned to properly match the styling of our advertisement pages. Additionally,, each card displaying a professional is now clickable to take the viewer to a details page about that specific individual that has chosen to utilize our Professionals solution.
SEO Improvements
While Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will continually be an evolving effort, release 2.1.08 addresses several items that will now dramatically improve our SEO scoring with search engines.
Every page within our public site now scores well above 90 in multiple categories of SEO testing.
Shorty after the release of 2.0.00 it was discovered that many of the images displayed on the public website had not been compressed which can lead to slower load times and lower SEO scoring when a site is crawled by search engines.
Additionally, with 2.1.08 visual utilizing of using cards to highlight our sites information, web crawlers will be able to more efficiently identify the subject matter of each public page.
