TOWCB Website - One Month Since Launch
News
It has been exactly a month since we launched the new website, and we're pleased to say that it has been well received!
Here's what we've been up to since launch:
1) Adding content from the old website.
Every day the website grows, as we are slowly adding all of our old articles and projects.
As you can imagine, this is an extremely time consuming process, as we first created our community in 2014.
This means that 5 years worth of content will soon be available on the website.
You can track our progress here
2) Navigation
As we are continually adding new pages, navigation of the site becomes a priority. In order to improve this, we
have added a grid to the bottom of every page, so that our fans can find the current top stories on the site.
This will be updated regularly using google analytics.
We are also improving navigation on the site by frequently testing hyperlinks, and changing their colour to green when they are working. You may stumble upon a few red links when browsing the site. This is most likely because the page does not yet exist.
We are hoping to have all our old articles and projects on the site very soon!
3) SEO
We are also frequently updating our SEO (Search engine optimization), so that we can increase traffic on the site.
The website can now be found on Google, but eventually we would like our pages to be ranked higher. This is done by updating the SEO, which allows search engines to show relevant content that users are searching for.
Keywords, snappy page descriptions and more content will surely help us to improve traffic, and help the website become the #1 location for fans searching for Assassin's Creed Community content.
4) Launch of Mobile Version
Shortly after the launch of our new website (10/8/19), we launched the mobile version! Using the same URL, the site should now work on mobile devices!
We have tested it many times on mobile phones and iPad, and it seems that many hours editing the site were well spent!
We currently have a majority of users viewing the site on mobile devices, so it's a good thing we managed to launch the mobile version so quickly!
Let us know if you have any tips on how we can make the site even better on mobile devices!
We have a ton of new content planned for the site, so make sure to add it to your bookmarks and check back regularly to see what we've been working on!
