More Speed Upgrades (Up to 3X)<\/h1>\n

Over the years our page content system was upgraded significantly to offer more functionalities – custom fields, attached main images & PDFs, excerpts, custom meta titles\/descriptions and more! These processes tend to tack on top of each other as we build, and it was time for a major overhaul.<\/p>\n

Without affecting front-end functionality, we managed to re-arrange the system so that the data retrieval takes a fraction of the time & effort it used to. This means your websites load faster (our testing showed as\u00a0little as 1\/3 of the time to load)<\/strong>\u00a0while reducing the load on the server to decrease lags during peak traffic<\/strong> times. A big shout-out to the Neacsu Denner Team (Luxury West Vancouver Real Estate Specialists)<\/a> for working with us to provide feedback on these speed improvements!<\/p>\n

Mailchimp Integration<\/h1>\n

Mailchimp is our recommended email marketing system<\/a> for newsletters & listing updates. The Brixwork core has been upgraded so that you can enter your Mailchimp account API key to allow automatic addition of emails from any contact form trigger. Thank you to Colin & Lynn at Nest Presales (Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam Presale Specialists)<\/a> for inspiring and providing feedback for this upgrade!<\/p>\n
