Redesign UPdate: Mobile Logo, A/B Testing, and Vanity URL

A very Happy Thanksgiving Eve to all! Before you get to traveling, cooking, napping, family-timing, or whatever your holiday celebration entails (minus our international partners...), we have some sweet redesign updates for you to check out.


Mobile Logo

You requested a way to change the logo for mobile to one that fits better with responsive resizing. Now it's available!
  • In your SASS editor below "Logo URL" you have a field for "Mobile Logo URL." 
  • pload your mobile logo to your Admin assets and simply copy the link to this location.
  • Specs: We recommend the same height as your current logo but square, so about 106x106.
  • If you don't input a mobile logo, your site will simply keep the regular logo as it has done when resized.


A/B Testing

Based off of user feedback and your feedback thus far, we are going to be A/B testing some design changes. Google Analytics has programming to easily facilitate A/B testing changes to determine a winning element.
  • Our first test and change that we implemented was tightening the Event Hero space to reduce the lines between the event title and additional info, which now allows the user to see more of the event page and makes the presentation of information more streamlined overall.
  • We will continue to implement various tests, such as expanding event details on mobile versus opening the event details on a new page, and keep you updated as to the decisions we make.
  • Ultimately, the goal is to build an amazing site that encourages engagement, gets people to go do stuff, makes you more successful with partners ($), and inspires more DoXXX love. We are keeping this top of mind when making decisions that would be impossible to 100% please 100% of all involved. 


Vanity URLs

Promo Users used to be the only pages that could easily have vanity URLs, but now we have added the feature to Events.
  • When you edit any Event page, you will find a "vanity" field in the "Advanced" section under "Permalink."
  • You can use this instead of the Promo User vote to apply the vanity URL to events.
  • We will be adding Vanity URLs to your HTML pages and venues eventually.

Other Stuff

We've cleaned up the event activity feed!
  • Addition to the feed is now attributed to "DoXXX" as opposed to the venue.
  • "Follow" works and makes clear what the user is selecting to follow.

Okay, that covers our most recent redesign highlights. Thanks all for your continued feedback and investment in what we're building. Enjoy your holiday!
