FOLSOM, CALIFORNIA
Local website MyFolsom.Com (http://www.myfolsom.com) is eager to launch its upgraded version 3.0 on January 12, 2004. Upgrades include an improved navigational interface, search capabilities, and enhanced capability to fit smaller screens. The end result for users will be quicker download times, optimization for all monitor sizes, and an overall improved flow of the site.
MyFolsom.Com was started
in July
2000
as a means for Folsom residents to discuss current events, see what's new
in Folsom, and learn about their community. The site's popularity grew as
an outlet over hot topics in Folsom such as affordable housing, city
council recalls, and development south of Highway 50. Though it is not
affiliated with the city, many see it as a "fly on the wall" perspective
as to the voices of Folsom. The site now attracts over 3,000 page views a
day, has over 6,500 posts on its message board, and has over 300
registered users in the forum. The website's traffic has been rising
steadily since it launched MyFolsom.Com version 2.0. in April 2002.
MyFolsom.Com's new features include:
Tabbed
Navigational Structure.
We have found that our users are on MyFolsom.Com for a variety of reasons,
however their interests clump in to main categories. Accordingly, we
tabbed and color-coded the site to 5 main sections: Folsom News, Folsom
Visitor Guide, Folsom Resident Guide, Folsom Forums, and Games. Along with
our tabbed navigation, users will also be able to find similar articles to
each field quicker with our new site structure.
Search Powered by Google:
Now users can find the information about Folsom they need quickly and
easily using our Google search. They can also scour the web with this
search capability as well.
Cleaner Look & Feel:
We always felt the site needed something, but couldn't put our fingers on
it. We then realized it needed more color! Our color logo is now more
prominent, and the site has a lot more color flowing throughout the site.
It's a subtle change, but it was definitely needed.
Optimized for Smaller Screens:
Users with smaller screens will no longer have to worry about a scrollbar
on the bottom of pages... we've trimmed the size down a little in order to
accomodate all of our users on the 'net!
