Fleet News Section Update - May 2015
It's been a long time since we last updated the 'Fleet News' section, and Liam and I decided that it was long overdue, given that the section had only seen one minor cosmetic change following its release in August 2013.
The new-look 'Fleet News' section is almost at completion. Key features in this release include:
- Opposed to having "important" news and "less important" news, all fortnightly news for each individual operator is shown on the individual operator's page.
- All articles now show the headline only on the operator's page - readers must click headlines of interest to read the article itself, similar to the online edition of newspapers.
- There is now a greater focus on photographs: the main news homepage shows two large photographs, and the size of the photographs on the individual articles has also been increased. The largest photograph on the main news homepage is now colour co-ordinated, allowing readers to easily identify which operator the news article is relevant to.
- Better mobile optimisation, following removal of RSS Feed feature.
We still need to add the 'fleet news archive', displaying news from previous months, but the current public release fulfils the 'needs' of most readers.
We'd warmly welcome any constructive criticism (and positive comments, too, of course).
