The IABB team is proud to provide release notes for our latest updates to the directory. This release is named after Benjamin Banneker. It includes both frontend and backend updates to improve the information provided to web users.
Below is a list of new features and bug fixes:
- Business users can now add business hours to their listing
- Google Captcha has been added to the contact forms found throughout the site to reduce spam emails
- Our Terms of Service has been updated with prohibited activities
- The IABB team can update businesses to be removed from the search results (we only do this in cases where there are duplicates or a business has been reported as closed or not black owned)
- The business URL structure is now fixed to protect our directory from crawlers as well as provide SEO benefits
- A small bug in our search bar has been fixed to not hide the input text
As always, thank you for your continued support of the directory and movement. With your support and feedback, together we will build a platform that will have significant impact on black economics.
