Maps

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are stuck in my head, and I am officially old.

This isn’t a huge update; I realized I never documented the adjusted site map for Sequential Philly. The original looks like this:

A site map shows Interviews at the top, leading to the About and Local pages, which split into Team/Contact and Index/Reviews/Shops/Calendar respectively.

The site opened on interviews, with very little traffic going elsewhere. We had a couple local comic reviews/summaries in the previous version, as well, and a contact form.

SP has quickly moved from just the index of local cartoonists to a regularly updated feed of what’s going on in the comics world in Philadelphia. One of the takeaways from the surveys was that users felt they didn’t always know about events in time to plan to go. Part of this is due to the way Instagram’s feed is currently set up (users have to change the default order manually), but SP needed to be proactive with a solution. This led to the redesigned site map:

This site map has Calendar at the top, leading to About and Local. About leads to Team and News, and Local leads to Index/Shops/Interviews.

The new site opens on the calendar. This way, upcoming events will be less likely to be missed. The About section now also includes a News & Updates page for general updates, the Reviews page is gone, and Interviews are hosted in the Local section. Of course, this will be tested to make sure it works.
