Flats Nation new desktop layout

We’ve made a fresh round of updates to Flats Nation to keep the website cleaner, faster, and easier to enjoy—especially for readers visiting on mobile devices.


Over the past day, we rolled out a series of practical improvements designed to sharpen the reading experience without changing what makes Flats Nation, well, Flats Nation. The homepage continues to center the brand around flats fishing, gear, and coastal living, with the core sections and article categories that readers know already in place.


Among the biggest improvements:


  • The subscribe system is tweaked now to load on demand, from a new link on the header bar.

  • Article images were sized down to help pages load more efficiently and quickly as you scroll down. When you have as many articles as we do covering various topics and categories, this comes in handy.

  • The article display on Mobile Devices set to a cleaner one-column layout for easier reading.


Additional behind-the-scenes SEO and performance tweaks were made to improve overall usability. We are happy to report, that Flats Nation lands on first pages for several of the major search engines (like Google) on what we consider high value Keywords like "Flats Fishing" and others to help bring even more value to our current and future Collaborators and Sponsors.
