The following major updates were incorporated into Uncode’s Autumn release.

Using the Related Posts on the Portfolio Agency concept.

Displaying related posts can improve your SEO rankings. Related posts increase page views, and tend to keep visitors on your site or within your domain for a longer time. As a result, you should see a reduction in the bounce rate. The best way to display related posts is between the content and comments sections of a page.

Sticky and Hide Menu on Mobile Devices

The idea of the sticky menu came from within the Uncode community. A sticky or fixed menu remains fixed while scrolling in a mobile view. The mobile user has the option of displaying the menu or hiding it. This option presents the web designer with some attractive options that will only increase as small screens get higher resolution.
