Why doesn’t the Localist calendar have a 30-day grid-view?

← Digital Calendar - Localist

The short answer: to keep it lively and without clutter.  Just check out the difference between a traditional grid layout and Localist’s list-view:

 


 

 


Now imagine this grid calendar lists events throughout the entire month – that’s a lot of text for your users to digest with no obvious way to filter or search.

Beyond the grid view’s aesthetics, it also limits:

  1. The ability to access to social sharing/ability to add to calendar
  2. Pictures
  3. Event descriptions
  4. Event types
  5. Locations under the title

Between this improved navigation, social integration and vibrant look, these are key to improving engagement and sky rocketing page views.
