V5.1 Release Summary
ARK V5.1 is focused on making the mobile version of the site feel neater, more balanced, and easier to use. This update improves the way the menu opens on phones, how the header looks inside the mobile menu, and how search fits into the menu layout.
What users will experience
- The mobile menu header now lines up more closely with the main site header.
- The ARK logo inside the mobile menu now matches the main header more closely in size and placement.
- The close button now sits in a more natural position and feels more balanced against the menu button.
- The black divider section inside the mobile menu now matches the look of the front page more closely.
- Menu items in the mobile menu now feel cleaner and more evenly spaced.
- Dividing lines now appear more consistently between menu items, with the final item ending cleanly.
Cleaner spacing on phones
- Menu links in both the top mobile menu and lower footer navigation now take up less vertical space.
- Text inside mobile menu links is centered more neatly, so the menu feels less bulky.
- The overall mobile layout feels tighter and less stretched vertically.
Improved mobile search layout
- The search icon now sits properly inside the mobile search box instead of feeling pushed to the edge.
- Typed text now stays clear of the search icon, making the search field easier to use.
- The search area now feels more contained and visually balanced on smaller screens.
Why this matters
- The mobile menu now feels more polished and easier to understand at a glance.
- Navigation takes up less space on phones, so the menu feels lighter and less crowded.
- Search is clearer and more comfortable to use on smaller devices.
- The mobile site now feels closer to the same standard as the desktop version.
