Entries close TODAY!
Exactly a month today the new site went live with its faster loading, more secure and mobile friendly layout. We expected teething issues once the new layout went into production mode but so far those teething issues have been minor being limited to minor hiccups in data manipulation- all of which were fixed as rapidly as they were reported to avoid distress to competitors using the site. There was extensive feedback on the mobile version and we have actually removed the information popups from the mobile copy (not enough screen space) and extended the screen footprint as people were missing the Complete button on some mobile phones. Overall the change has been greeted positively but obviously we will continue to monitor the new layout very closely.
Stripe as a payment option has proved quite popular and over this first month of operation we have seen Stripe account for about 18% of the total entry fees- and we would expect that to increase as time progresses:
The Merchandise sister site that runs alongside the new site has been increasing its designs and as we approach Christmas you will see some new festive designs added to the range. Why not have a browse at horseventsstore.co.uk
The New Show Organiser Zone continues to be built in earnest. We are targetting ourselves with launching that before we reach our Tenth Birthday in January 2020. It too, like the Competitor Zone, as well as running on the new more efficient platform, will also be packed with some new features (more about those as we get closer to launching it).
