Hello,
We have prepared a new update note with a few new features and significant improvements of our site’s existing functionality. This update will provide a new payment method, better navigation, further integration of our Top 5 Professional rating, and more. Our team has tracked and caught more bugs and made performance improvements. You will experience a faster website with fewer bugs.
Paypal integration
We know that you have requested Paypal service integration. This payment method can be used to purchase Opporty coins. These coins can be spent on subscriptions, Opporty services, etc. Payments with Paypal are quick and easy. To make use of this payment method, just register your Paypal account in our system.
Sitemap
We previously had a minimally functional sitemap that allowed for better performance of the site and provided optimization for search engines. From now on, you will be able to effortlessly navigate our site with an improved sitemap.
TOP 5 Professional
Before this update we had our Top 10 companies listed in the TOP companies section. We have created a new section and have completely implemented the Top 6 Professional Rating. You will now see 5 companies in the Top companies section. This improvement is meant to focus on professional companies, which are approved by our administrators based on multiple factors.
Opporty — SIC synchronization
Our search algorithm is now better than before. Previously you would enter the SIC and Opporty categories separately. To simplify the search for companies on the website, we have synchronized the search between the Opporty and SIC categories catalog. It will make your search faster and will prevent double-searching for the same result.
Popular articles in blog
We are also introducing a new update for our blog. You can now see which blog posts received the highest levels of user recognition. You will see these posts in the popular articles section, which will conveniently keep you in touch with the best articles on the blog. See the screenshot below to learn where this section is located.
Add request/offer
We have added a new wizard to make it even more convenient and easier to make offers and requests. It is a positive improvement of the functionality, since you can now access this section from any page on the site. You no longer need to find a special page for this action.
Search filter optimization
We have saved a few optimizations and bugfixes for last. We have updated the search filter and the company profile functionality, so you will experience higher responsiveness of the site. We have caught some bugs and processed the code to improve performance by 30%. This is a substantial performance boost which we managed to achieve for May.
Services and categories optimization
The last improvement for this month is an update of services and categories in the filter. We have cleaned up the code and optimized the functionality of these categories to make them even easier to access. This is the last but very important update, since this feature is essential for use of the site.
Stay tuned, and we will release even more exciting updates in the near future.
