Week 2 (01-08-2025 to 01-14-2025):

Task 1: Begin Customizing the Classified Section Theme Based on Branding Guidelines

• Objective: Ensure the classified section aligns with SayPro’s brand identity and guidelines.
• Action Steps:
  1. Review Branding Guidelines:
     • Access and thoroughly review SayPro’s branding guidelines, including color schemes, font choices, logo usage, and any other specific design elements that must be followed.
  2. Inspect Current Classified Theme:
     • Analyze the current classified section theme to assess its current look and functionality.
     • Identify key areas of improvement or alignment with SayPro branding.
  3. Customize Design Elements:
     • Update the theme’s visual design, including header, footer, navigation, buttons, and background colors, to match SayPro’s brand colors.
     • Adjust the typography (font styles and sizes) to ensure consistency with branding.
  4. Add Logo and Brand Elements:
     • Integrate the SayPro logo and any other visual brand elements as specified in the branding guidelines.
  5. Modify Layout for Consistency:
     • Modify the classified layout (grid or list view) to align with the established brand aesthetic.
     • Ensure the use of brand-consistent icons and visuals for different ad categories.
  6. Responsive Design Testing:
     • Ensure that the customized theme is fully responsive on mobile and tablet devices.
     • Test across different browsers for compatibility and consistency in appearance.
• Deliverable: A classified section that reflects SayPro’s branding guidelines, ready for the next phase of testing and refinement.

Task 2: Implement Caching Solutions to Enhance Site Speed

• Objective: Optimize the classified section’s loading time and overall user experience by implementing caching solutions.
• Action Steps:
  1. Assess Current Site Performance:
     • Use tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to assess the current speed of the classified section and identify any bottlenecks.
  2. Research Appropriate Caching Solutions:
     • Based on the platform (e.g., WordPress or custom-built), select the appropriate caching plugin or strategy.
     • Options may include full-page caching, browser caching, or object caching.
  3. Install and Configure Caching Plugin:
     • For WordPress: Install caching plugins like W3 Total Cache or WP Rocket.
     • For custom solutions: Implement server-side caching techniques such as Varnish or Redis.
  4. Configure Caching Rules:
     • Set up caching rules based on traffic and user behavior. Ensure that dynamic content like user submissions and classified ads are appropriately excluded from the cache.
  5. Enable Content Delivery Network (CDN):
     • Set up a CDN (e.g., Cloudflare, MaxCDN) to offload static files and reduce latency by delivering content from servers closer to the user’s location.
  6. Test Speed Improvements:
     • After implementing the caching solution, re-test the site’s speed using the same tools to measure improvements.
     • Compare the results to the initial performance metrics to verify improvements in load times.
  7. Monitor Cache Performance:
     • Continuously monitor site performance to ensure that caching is working as intended and not causing issues with content updates.
• Deliverable: A faster classified section with improved load times, leading to a better user experience.

Task 3: Collaboration and Reporting

• Objective: Ensure coordination between SayPro teams for the effective execution of the tasks.
• Action Steps:
  1. Weekly Meeting:
     • Schedule and attend a meeting with the SayPro Marketing and Classified teams to discuss progress on the branding customization and caching implementations.
  2. Report Updates:
     • Provide a detailed update on the completion of customization and caching solutions, including any challenges faced and steps taken to resolve them.
  3. Gather Feedback:
     • Share the changes made with key stakeholders for feedback, especially on the customization aspect, and note any required adjustments.
  4. Finalize Customization and Caching Tasks:
     • Incorporate feedback from stakeholders and finalize the changes, ensuring everything meets SayPro’s standards.
• Deliverable: A finalized report documenting the tasks completed, feedback received, and any adjustments made.
