Site Work Results (So Far)

by | Sep 26, 2021 | Site

I’m not sure if I’m going to split this into a two part site update, but so far the results have been decent, barring one or two cripplingly annoying limitations of the Divi theme builder.

So far I’ve:

  • Standardized some elements across the site
  • Dropped the ‘glow’ from most text for easier reading
  • Removed some old plugins I don’t need/want
  • Did some front and back-end optimizations
  • Fixed a couple of old nags in the theme editor
  • Did some view testing on various screens

I think the LGT page gave me the most trouble. I liked the old layout I was using for that page, but while I was trying to bring everything in line with the rest of the site changes, I wound up deleting the synopsis. That’s the last time that’s happening. Due to the way rows, columns, and borders work, there wasn’t any way for me to use the type of border I like around the whole thing without merging all of it; mobile users would have been in for one nightmare of a margins and padding mess otherwise. I’m going to do some research at some point to see if I can’t have separate versions of a page for PC vs mobile. That would let me do a lot more with both individually instead of the balancing act I went with.

I may decide to go back in and do another round of changes across the site, but I’m going to see how things feel for at least a few days before deciding one way or the other.
