🔧 Work on United Baristas Services over New Year 2024-25

Announcement

Work is underway to implement a new design across United Baristas Services.

Temporary glitches and awkward styling are to be expected. We are not only implementing a new design but also a new platform on which the design is coded. This means we need to temporarily merge the existing and new platforms on United Baristas Services while it is live. Glitches and awkward styling may occur whenever the two systems are incompatible.

We have been preparing for this transition over the past six months and will endeavor to make the change as smoothly as possible. There will be updates across United Baristas. If something isn't working, please try again a little later. If an issue persists for more than 24 hours, please open a support ticket.

Why are we doing this

Earlier this year, we updated United Baristas with a new design – and it has been a real success. The site is simpler to use, articles are easier to read, more people are visiting than ever before and the new platform is easier for us to maintain and update in the future.

We now need to implement the same platform and design on United Baristas Services. This will further unify United Baristas and make future updates easier.

Unfortunately, it's not practical to push the platform and design changes to United Baristas Services all at once, so we are doing it incrementally. The Christmas – New Year period is the quietest time of year for our services, making it an ideal time to implement these changes.

We expect to have the new platform and the foundation of the new design in place by 6 January 2025. We will then progressively redesign each of Directory, Equipment, Events, Jobs, and Marketplace throughout 2025.

Thank you for using United Baristas. Please bear with us as we make these changes and all the best for the year ahead.
