Behind The Firm List Blog
Major Upgrade
I have been putting a lot of time into transferring the various US state
listings from the "old system" of having all the listings on one page, to an
individual city/town by city/town listing. This makes it easier to find a
specific location and it's listing, but at the same time lays the structural
groundwork for many of the upcoming developments I have planned for the
site.
The first development, has already begun, and that is the regional resource
guides. You can see the rough beginnings along with the Massachusetts and
New York listings. The plan is to expand these resources as well as provide
resources for all the of the other regions covered by the site.
Another development, which hasn't begun yet, is to break listings down into
two groups: firms and individuals. Because I don't have any way currently
to make that distinction, many designers/developers have listed themselves
on the site using the forms specifically designed for firms. These forms
aren't necessarily best suited to showcasing the information and abilities
about an individual designer. It can also be confusing to those who are
looking for firms using the site.
So the intention is to provide the ability for designers/developers to list
themselves as individuals and there will be a different type of listing and
it will be set apart from the firms, but presented in the same display.
You'll just have to wait to see this in action. I am working as fast as I
can.
