New Feature Release: Listing Page Mashups

New Look Listings

Our listing pages now have a new look which is similar to a mash up we have removed all the tabs from the page and combined them all onto one page. The rational for this was everything seemed a click away and we were diluting our content by making the visitor browse different pages.

This way all the content for the care or nursing home is in one place and are no longer a click away which is how it should be. We hope this change is useful to our visitors mainly and we have a few more changes we would like to make in order to make it even easier to access our content.

Examples

Kestrel Grove Nursing Home
Bel-Air Residential Care Home

New Feature Release: Advanced Search

Search for Power Users

The latest release has added an advanced search function for our visitors allowing them granular search of our database we hope this will appeal to both visitors and power users of our services.

You can now search for homes and agencies in the UK by first part of postcode, town or county. To search for multiple postcode/towns/counties you can separate each one with a space.

For the initial version we have implemented some basic operators allowing you to control your results. Operators are currently only type: and room: but this allows you to filter your results even more.

Our home page now contains an advanced search widget making it easy for visitors to use the service and letting them know we now have a better search.

We still offer our site search which uses a different approach to the advanced search because it crawls the site and provides search for all page content the advanced search only searches homes and agencies in the database.

Below are a collection of example search words which are inside the yellow boxes we hope to add more operators and also filtering in future releases of our advanced search.

Enhanced Care and Nursing Home Accordion

Enhanced Listings on County Pages

Today we release a change to our main county pages on the website so they now include an accordion containing any enhanced listings for the county. We implemented an accordion which is collapsed on page load so we still have the county list above the fold.

We feel this improves the quality of the page by adding relevant content that is useful to the visitor but also adds another avenue of promotion to care and nursing homes which have an enhanced listing with us.
