New, Muscular GCA Look and Content
« on: November 19, 2024, 11:13:34 AM »
Just when we start b!tch!ng, the great and powerful Ran goes and updates the look and the functionality. I can't wait to take it for a test drive.


My first observation: less is more. This is the direct result of social media impacting traditional web sites. No longer are ribbons of drop-down options needed. This is the mid-2020s, and a smaller menu is the norm. We do a few things efficiently.


My second observation: Drew Harvie. The peripatetic Canadian has been added to the advisory board. Hopefully, an announcement will be made to the reasoning. No complaint from me. His wanderlust has given us great insight into the course of his homeland. He is the Canuck Jon Cavalier, with more words.

Seems to be much more than a redesign/update. There is more content, most of which pre-produced and dated to yesterday. There are two contributors, one of whom is (according to his Instagram profile) the "managing partner" of GCA. And there's a clock ticking down to the publication of a podcast. And I've probably overlooked some stuff. Curious what else is happening behind the scenes!

I appears that when you are ignoring someone their words are hidden but the fact that they are speaking is not. That’s not a state of ignoration.

Not sure if the images change or rotate. The image with the clubhouse in the background with the green and white awnings is indeed of Toronto Golf Club. A photo of the Par 3 7th I do believe

Wow - big news!  Congrats to everyone at GCA and Beyond the Contour - for those that haven't met Andrew yet, you'll be hard pressed to find a more passionate, well-spoken and well-travelled young architecture aficionado.  I'm excited to see what's to come.

The plethora of new articles will take a while to wade through. It should be fun.

Love the photo of #10 at Royal Dornoch on the home page. Ken Moum knows why.

Adding the dates back to the course review titles is nice, I missed that. When the website theme was red the courses by country page used to load much faster though.
