New Website Upgrades & Alterations 2025
We have now upgraded the AFVBC website so it is using the latest version, this is to make sure that the security of the website is kept to a high standard. We have had to input all the information again as the old version and modules did not allow the website to run as we required. There have been a few alterations/removals to the information we are now showing on the website.
Removals/Alterations
- We have removed some old AFVBC and National news Articles from the website and only put a few articles on this website, this was to save time entering all the articles again.
- We have not put any comments about any News Articles or AFVBC Announcements that we have listed, again this would be too time-consuming.
- We had 2 categories AFVBC News and National News, these have been merged into one catergory and the website allows us to separate them and display them how we would like to.
Improvements
- Improved Layout, giving more information to visitors and more mobile friendly
- Showing links on mobiles as soon as site loads up, so can find a club, view the map, contact and shop.
- Better improved security of the website.
- Improve the banner of the website so easier to show information.
- Frontpage - can show more Breakfast Club information, and can post more focused information about events, news and information.
- News - page able to show multiple images in the top banner, instead of being underneath the text, so visitors can scroll through the images instead of having just 1 image at the top and others under the text.
- Clubs Directory - this page has improved layout and shows different tabs which visitors can select, instead of having to scroll down the long list of clubs.
- Individual Clubs - page can now show the multiple venue locations of clubs meetings, including venue contact numbers and locations, at the moment there is a maximum of 3 locations which can be listed.
- Events Page - shows multiple event dates on one page, instead of the limited 6-7 on the old website.
- Individual Events - this page can show up to 3 different locations on the page along with the date and times and venue contact numbers or club contact numbers.
We continue to make improvements and are still working on the site, we are currently making sure all pages are correct, if any visitors find any errors then we apologise for the problems this may cause.
