We have been super busy rebuilding the new DancePlug V2 platform. So many great improvements and the biggest being speed and usability. We are all very proud of the end result and hope DancePlug receives all the benefits they deserve.
Let's move into some of the details so you can really know what we did:
The UI: has been overhauled giving an even greater user experience than before. Custom icons, themed buttons along with loading animations, great visual ads and more, thanks to Anh Dillon's designs.
Development Wise: we have focused on pluggers not having to deal with so many page refreshes with sections like the community, comment board, insider tips, dance classes and profiles. We have also implemented a brand new way to edit profiles through an overlays system, Pluggers can now edit their info from any page on the site simply by using the fusebar located at the bottom of their browser. This gives pluggers a clean, easy way to navigate where they want quickly.
Online Dance Classes: let's get to the fun part. This has been completely revamped and with huge improvements. New features include: no refreshing, instant load of all videos, low and high quality video delivery system (High Definition), streaming - no more waiting, instant filtering and searching, latest, most viewed and featured lists as well. You have to check it out!
Featuring Your Event: on DancePlug has never been easier. All you have to do now is signup or login and enter in your events and when you want them featured, select the events and all will be taken care of. Your event will appear in the events calendar and throughout the network.
Your community: is far stronger, welcoming a much better way to make connections and uphold communication. You now have an easy way to be friends or simply be a follower. The best of both worlds. You can monitor activity through the custom pulse (old name Live Feed) located on a Pluggers homepage keeping up with all their goings on. Write messages and accept requests all from quick and simple overlays. Best of all you can now search for a friend/follower right away.
Mail: has taken a bold step forward full of improvements. Pluggers now have the ability to search, filter and perform multiple actions. Threading is now possible within messages to keep communication nice and clear. Pluggers can also send to multiple friends, a much awaited feature!
Working Status: we added this as a nice way for Pluggers to promote what they are currently working on. This is displayed on their profiles for everyone to see.
Watcher: is a nice new tool as well. You can now stay updated on forums and blogs by receiving email notifications. Through your account you also have an easy way to view all your content you are watching with the abilities to delete, stop notifications and more.
DancePlug has been very rewarding and our whole team has had a lot of fun working on it.
This pretty much wraps up the new and improved DancePlug V2. Be sure to check it out, promote yourself and learn all the new dance moves!
