eg, instructions for regatta now available
one subject per post

use posts to aid discovery
provides flexible post results pages
could add buttons to filter posts by tags
Events becomes the backbone of the site
monthly
Different views possible
Calendar based event list
A page (calendar entry) for each event
A "Series" view, so can see all events in a race series previous years too
Events page is structured, with spots to add expected info and links
promo info maybe links to posts?
Special bits... links to entry & scoring systems

ALL info about the event is pdf documents, eg regs, instructions
accessible from the event's
page results

CYAA web strategy Use same plugin as CYANZ it works very well...
Look for a plugin to manage this area
Could be part of a larger m'ship plugin, which may support member self service in the future.
Special bits...
CYAA Register If nothing suitable, could build using posts template based, sorted on boat name?
Register is phase 2
some of the pics on the site are amazing...
pull them together into one area
Special bits...
Galleries Do as a post with category "gallery"
cross reference to event calendar page see publishing scenarios
navigation multilevel, doiwn to L3
expose posts and pages based on keywords
search "tune" to focus on expected searches
plugin to index pdf docs & improve search
Discovery categories use them to manage where posts appear eg, news
eg, galleries
national
jurisdiction
vic, nsw, tas, etc
tags use to filter and refine post lists series eg, winter
year eg, 2021
need to get unique URLs from year to year
url structure include dates in posts eg, "Winer Series Race 4 has been postponed" may unfortunately
happen in more than one year
minimise plugins if possible
consider plugins needed to manage security, backup
plugins remove un-needed plugins they take us space and resources
Tech eg, the image magnifier is pretty bad on mobile. Use a "lighbox"
approach instead?
ensure plugins work on mobile
Flipbooks do work on mobile, if landscape
analytics maybe use google analytics rather than page views plugin? GA has very useful info and reporting
links Suggest make external links open in a new tab keep CYAA site context so they can get back
