Developer Notes

Needed

These are some items we could use to add to the website…

  • Photos of either current animals or recently adopted for front page 800×800 px.
  • Photo(s) of ARF building
  • More testimonials from adopters ideally with a photo.

Ideas

These are items to work on now that the redesign has been completed…

  • Events Page revamp – maybe a calendar or a list of recurring events?
  • Update adoptapet.com listings
  • News page cleanup needed.
  • Staff section (private)? for dev pages and notes on how to add photos to front, testimonials, etc?  Thjs way others can edit key parts of site without breaking design.
  • Automated sponsor a pet – with photo/bios
  • Better integration with the adoption listing service? (instead of linking to a 3rd party page.)

Problems since last update

These are some areas that seem to not be working the same since the recent WordPress and theme updates…

  • Menu icon options not showing in menu edit
  • Menu control plugin (see dev site) not showing  in menu edit
  • Icons on contact page no longer centered properly in circle
  • Manually added call-to-action box (example on donate and volunteer pages) no longer using background from css (via default setting) so had to manually change colors.
  • Some items not centering properly in sidebar and footer.
