Welcome to the new site! Over the past couple months, I have been working behind the scenes to make some big changes to FTM. I hope these changes will make it easier to find what you are looking for. If you are having trouble finding something, please let me know.
A few key changes:
- You will notice that the Navigation Bar is more user friendly, with the addition of the Find My Store button – which pops up with all the stores covered on FTM.
- The bottom half of the site is a snapshot of the main categories with the deals listed. You can click on any of them and the entire list of deals for that category will be listed.
- You can now email a deal to yourself or a friend using the envelope icon in that post.
- You can now print any post using the printer icon in that post.
You will notice that the print lists are not functioning right now. This should be corrected soon.
With anything new, there is the possibility of issues. If you find anything that is not working properly, please let me know. I appreciate your patience as we work out any kinks.
If you are looking for store matchups, unfortunately they will not be up until tomorrow.
P.S. – I wanted to take a moment to thank Jen and Jason at New Seasons Design. Lets just say that this site had to be virtually re-redesigned in 4 days. They totally worked around the clock to make it happen. So if you need any design work done, I highly recommend them.
Looks nice, but I’d love to see more deals on a single page. The whole next page, next page for 5 deals or so per page is a little annoying. Maybe that would be fine for a mobile version, but for a regular non-mobile version, loading 10 deals at once would be better. Anyway to change that?
Jared,
I have always done 6 deals to a page, this is nothing new. This is because otherwise I am loading 10 images at once, plus the sidebars. The page takes forever to load. This is optimized to load quickly.
Welcome back! I’ve missed you :) I look forward to exploring the new features. I already like the email a deal! Great stuff.
I love the new site, Shannon :)
Thanks Nicole!
Hey girl! It looks great ;)
I LOVE your new design! Jason and Jennifer did some work on my site too and they were so wonderful to work with!!! I love it!
I love the new look! Looking forward to checking it out further!
Love it!!! It feels good and easy to use so far. Will let you know if any problems. You all did a wonderful job Shannon!!!
awesome!
Looks great, Shannon. I bet there were some blood, sweat, and tears shed over the redesign. But it will all be worth it in the long haul.
Wow, the update is beautiful! Keep up the great work!
I would appreciate if you could show the time, not just the date for each post. So that we know how long a deal has been posted. Just like the time that is shown for the comments.
Rocky,
Thanks for your feedback, at this time with the format that the blog is run on, it is not possible. Something maybe for the future. The time is standard with the theme.
Very nice! It looks great, and I’m very happy that I can print your posts now!
Yeah! Hopefully that will come in handy!
Ooooh, me, too! So much better than my workaround! :)
The site looks beautiful and very professional! Congrats!
I am brand new to this site (as of this afternoon). It has fast become one of my favorite coupon sites. So well organized, and so informative. Thanks for all of your hard work enabling so many of us to save so much money. The price on that- priceless!
Beautius!!!! I love the new design and layout. I can’t wait to start exploring. You have always been one of my favorites, but this is icing on the cake!
thanks for all your hard work :) the new site looks great! get some sleep!!!
I know I wouldn’t have gotten any sleep setting something like this up. It looks great, Shannon!!
This looks great :) When are you gonna put up the Rite Aid weekly deal? :)
Wooo Hooo! Love it!!
