This week you may have noticed we were MIA for a little while and then the site magically looked different! I wanted to make sure the site was as user-friendly as possible for all of you as well as make sure I was completely happy with the look of the site so we had a little makeover. Here’s what’s new and what you can expect from us in the future.
The biggest change that you’ll notice instantly is the home page is no longer spilt up into sections and if I’m honest I did that for me instead of you (#sorrynotsorry). Seeing the lifestyle, fashion and beauty split up like that gave me major anxiety when it came to creating content. I found that I was always worrying about how much each of the different sections were being updated instead of writing the content I wanted. Now you’ll find all our latest content on the main page mushed together but I feel as though it’s still really easy to see what’s happening! Our drop down menus now load in a grid form instead of a list. This was something I’ve been wanting to change for a while to make the site more user-friendly and so you can sift through older content quicker.
You guys have also always been so important when it comes to planning content but often I’m asked to do a post I forget (#ireallyamsorry). We added a ‘Request a Post’ form so if you’re itching to hear about a new release, learn more about a certain blogging topic or just want to be noisy about anything you can just ask. This will help keep all requests in one spot that way I won’t forget… Pinky promise!!
Another change is I’ve incorporated more ad options into the new layout and lots of you have been purchasing them so THX!!! This is just a way for me to monetise the site so I can keep up with the costs of running MTA. If you’re interested in advertising you can check out this page. If you ever find any of the ads hinder your experience on the site please do get in touch via our contact form.
I’m also super excited about our new and improved SHOP feature that IS coming VERY soon! I spent a whole day this past week including items I really love, would recommend to friends or things I’ve been lusting after myself. I really hope you guys enjoy that new feature when it goes live and so make sure to check back as it’ll be updated regularly in the coming weeks. (f you decide to purchase anything using the links in our shop I do earn a small commission). I’ll let you all know over social media once it’s live! The Directory is also up-to-date and will be continuously updated with the latest reviews on products.
The last update I have for you is the newsletter subscription in the sidebar. Some of you are already signed up so again, THX! I’m going to be sending out an email every week (I’m thinking Monday? Thoughts?) with all our new posts you may have missed, exclusively offers and down the track FREE e-books/resources and loads of fun stuff. There are so many ideas floating around my head so if you haven’t entered your email make sure you do as I’m super excited to get that started! No spam emails, just the good stuff.
Coming up we have some new series launching as well as our usual daily content. Sorry for the word vomit but I thought I’d point out the changes for y’all because I’m super excited about it and I hope you guys are too!
Have a browse around and let me know what you think :)
PS: if you’re wondering who is the mastermind behind the design it’s the gorgeous Grace from Berry Vary. She does all my web designing and brings my vague ideas come to life. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an affordable web designer - will be doing a full interview with Grace VERY soon!
