  Before	After

It is a long period ago work was done at background of the site. Reason was lack of correct working tools to aid in the technical framework of www.pitztalholiday.eu. For the past two years this has caused a slow site.

With modern tools and some tweaking of the site settings the speed increased with a factor 3 to 4.

Sofar NextGEN gallery has been used, but this is an rather old and resource intensive photo gallery. Although still used by a lot of websites I decided, after intensive testing, to switch to Envira Gallery. 

This will at the end lead to better performance of the site and less bugs/maintenance of the photo galleries.

Currently we are working at converting the existing NextGEN photo galleries to Envira based galleries.

Decreased the font size from 16px to 14px as it was a litle bit too large compared with other websites. Also the site is now now secure. It is now also reachable via https://www.pitztalholiday.eu (insecure http link will be automatically redirected to the secured site).

Finetuned the filter layoutfor hiking trails, road trips and sights to reduce empty lines, increase size of selection fields etc. The images below show the before/after layout for hiking trails.
