LandmarkLocation.com: clearer pages, easier updates
We have just rolled out an update to LandmarkLocation.com, and it comes in two parts: an improved display that you can see straight away, and a better content management system (CMS) that works behind the scenes. Together they make the site easier to read, easier to browse and easier for us to keep up to date.
The update at a glance
Here is a quick summary of what has changed:
- An improved display: a cleaner, more consistent layout for the pages you visit.
- A better CMS: a more capable system for creating, editing and organising the content on the site.
- A stronger foundation: a setup that makes future improvements simpler for us to deliver.
Neither change is about reinventing the site. LandmarkLocation.com is still the place to find landmarks and locations. We have simply tidied up how that information is presented and how we manage it.
A clearer, more comfortable display
A site about places should be a pleasure to look at. With this update we have reworked the way pages are laid out so that the information you are looking for is easier to spot and easier to take in.
Easier to read
We have paid attention to the basics that make a real difference when you are reading on screen: sensible spacing between sections, clear headings and a layout that guides your eye down the page instead of making you hunt for what matters. Content should feel organised rather than crowded.
Consistent from page to page
When every page follows the same pattern, you spend less time working out where things are. The refreshed display aims to give pages a familiar structure, so once you have found your way around one entry, the next one should feel natural.
Comfortable on the device you use
Plenty of people look up places on a phone or tablet, often while planning a trip or when they are out and about. Our aim with the new display is for pages to be comfortable to use whether you are on a small screen or a large one.
A better CMS behind the scenes
The second half of the update is less visible, but it matters just as much. A CMS is the tool we use to add, edit and organise everything you read on the site. When that tool works well, the whole website benefits.
Simpler, faster updates
A more capable CMS means we can make changes with less effort. Adding a new entry, correcting a detail or refreshing an older page becomes a smoother task. That leaves more of our time for what matters most: making sure the content is accurate and useful.
More consistent content
Because content is now handled in a more structured way, entries are easier to keep tidy and uniform. That consistency feeds directly into the improved display, because well-organised content is far easier to present clearly.
Room to grow
A good CMS is also about the future. With a stronger system in place, we can add new sections, refine existing ones and respond to feedback without having to rebuild things from scratch each time.
What this means for you
If you visit LandmarkLocation.com as a reader, the benefits are straightforward:
- Pages should be easier to read and navigate.
- Information should look and feel more consistent as you move around the site.
- Content should be easier for us to keep current, which helps the site stay useful over time.
You do not need to do anything to take advantage of these changes. There is nothing to download, nothing to set up and no new account to create. Simply visit the site as you normally would.
What has stayed the same
It is worth saying what we have not changed. The purpose of the site is the same, and so is our approach to the content: we want it to be clear, practical and genuinely helpful. The update is about presentation and process, not about changing what LandmarkLocation.com stands for.
What comes next
This update is a step rather than a finish line. Now that the display and the CMS are in better shape, we plan to keep refining the site, looking at how pages read, how easy it is to find things and how we can keep the content fresh.
Your experience is the best guide for what to improve next. If something looks off, feels awkward or could be clearer, we would like to hear about it. Small observations from the people who use the site every day are often the most valuable.
Take a look
The improved display and the better CMS are both live on LandmarkLocation.com now. Have a browse, see how the pages feel and let us know what you think. We hope you find it clearer, calmer and easier to use, and we are looking forward to building on it.
