NANCY – HEATWAVE Registration Improvements & Durham Advertising SEO
HEATWAVE Events – Confirmation Email Updates
Website: https://heatwaveevents.com/
Work Type: AI-Assisted Development + Manual Testing
Updated the 2027 registration confirmation email to reflect Rosanne’s requested wording.
Confirmation Heading
Updated the heading to:
2027 REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION
Welcome Message
Changed the opening heading to:
Your team-building day starts here!
Simplified the introduction and removed repeated wording.
Registration Labels
Updated the labels to:
- Team registration fees.
- Team apparel.
- T-shirt sizes.
Closing Instructions
Added guidance requesting that registrants contact info@heatwaveevents.com and include their confirmation number when requesting changes.
Interac e-Transfer Instructions
Updated the confirmation information to include:
- Awaiting Payment status.
- Amount to transfer.
- Payment destination.
- Company/team name and confirmation number instructions.
- Notice that payment remains pending until receipt is confirmed.
The payment confirmation workflow was prepared so registrants could receive paid-status information after an administrator verifies payment.
Important: The new payment-received confirmation email remained on hold pending approval and resolution of the Brevo sending issue.
Shipping Address Presentation
Reviewed shipping details to ensure City and Province were displayed separately.
The test registration showed Oshawa as the city and Ontario as the province.
The report noted that the province field remained free-text during testing; a correctly displayed test value does not establish dropdown validation.
Multi-Team Apparel Quantity Validation
Corrected the issue where quantity-validation messages did not appear when editing apparel selections for multiple teams.
The updated validation checks that the total quantity distributed across sizes exactly matches the selected apparel quantity.
Registrants are prevented from continuing when the quantities do not match.
The existing single-team validation, pricing, shipping behavior, and registration flow were preserved.
SureForms – Back-End Payment Tracking
Added payment-status visibility within SureForms → Entries.
The reported workflow allows administrators to:
- Open the relevant registration.
- Review payment information.
- Check whether the status is Awaiting Payment or Paid.
- Mark the registration as Paid after confirming receipt.
- Avoid duplicate payment-confirmation notifications.
No real payment statuses were changed during testing.
HEATWAVE – Test Registration & Pricing Verification
A test registration was completed and retained for review.
The documented test total was:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Team registration fee | $685.00 |
| Apparel | $210.00 |
| Shipping | $45.00 |
| Subtotal | $940.00 |
| HST | $122.20 |
| Total | $1,062.20 |
The calculated total was verified for the tested scenario.
The updated wording was visible in received confirmation email screenshots.
However, the report also identified that an earlier on-screen confirmation page still displayed some previous wording. The email and on-screen confirmation are separate outputs and require separate verification.
Main QA Report:
Status: Registration confirmation updates, apparel validation, and back-end payment tracking reported implemented. New payment-received email delivery and final on-screen confirmation consistency remain pending.
Durham Advertising – Technical SEO Investigation
Website: https://durhamadvertising.com/
Work Type: AI-Assisted SEO Investigation + WordPress Review
Completed a comprehensive SEO investigation covering indexing, metadata, schema, Search Console, sitemap configuration, and keyword opportunities.
WordPress Indexing Setting
Found that the WordPress Discourage search engines option was enabled.
Unchecked the setting and verified that the change was saved.
The robots.txt file subsequently gained a Sitemap line automatically.
Critical Google Indexing Restriction
A separate noindex restriction remained active in the website’s HTTP headers:
X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive
The investigation traced the restriction to the custom Durham Advertising Preview plugin.
The plugin also applied a WordPress robots filter forcing noindex and nofollow.
The underlying plugin restriction was identified but not removed.
Removing it requires confirmation that the website is approved for public indexing and a targeted code change.
Google Search Console
Created a URL-prefix property for DurhamAdvertising.com.
Ownership verification remained incomplete.
No sitemap was submitted and no indexing request was made.
The SureRank connection also remained incomplete because Google required account verification.
Schema Review
Reviewed the installed SEO plugins:
- SureRank SEO.
- SureRank Business.
- Schema Pro.
Found that Schema Pro had no configured schemas.
Prepared recommendations for Organization, WebSite, FAQPage, and Product/Offer schema where appropriate.
No new schema configuration was completed during the investigation.
SureRank Audit
The dashboard showed:
- 19 checks.
- 16 passed.
- Two warnings.
- One suggestion.
Identified missing homepage logo alt text, an unset tagline, and missing or incomplete SEO metadata on selected pages.
The reported 706 missing-alt-text instances primarily involved repeated network logos and derivatives rather than 706 unique photographs.
SEO Optimization Plan
Prepared a prioritized plan covering:
- Resolving the remaining noindex restriction.
- Completing Search Console verification.
- Reviewing the sitemap.
- Applying approved SEO titles and descriptions.
- Conducting Ubersuggest and AnswerThePublic keyword research.
- Configuring structured data.
- Reviewing internal and transactional page indexing.
- Correcting placeholder content and links.
- Performing further mobile and technical checks.
Status: Investigation and SEO plan completed. Major indexing and optimization changes remain pending.

Development Website: https://durhamtutor.allaboutdurham.com/
Work Type: Manual Website Testing + Bug Documentation

Issues Identified

The directory search-filter bar was misaligned and lacked sufficient vertical spacing below the hero banner.
2. Login Section Overlap
The login alert banner and Login button overlapped the hero section background, affecting readability and layout.
3. Tutor Registration Button
The Start Tutor Registration CTA incorrectly directed visitors to the Add Listing page instead of the intended registration workflow.
4. Login Redirection
The Login button on the Add Listing page failed to redirect users to the WordPress login portal.
5. Mobile Navigation
The hamburger menu icon was invisible against the light header background on mobile devices.

QA Report:

Durham Directory – Business Listing Image Updates
Website: https://durhamdirectory.com/
Work Type: GeoDirectory + Image Research + Manual Verification
Updated the 56 business listings imported on October 27.
Investigated the GeoDirectory image-import process and discovered that image URLs needed to be separated using :: rather than commas.
The original comma-separated import reported success without actually attaching the images.
Corrected the import format and manually added three secondary images that had been skipped because their URLs contained query strings.
Image Update Results
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Listings reviewed | 56 |
| Listings with verified images added | 24 |
| Listings with two images | 22 |
| Listings with one image | 2 |
| Listings without verified images | 32 |
| Published directory total | 7,225 |

Aruba Directory – Listing Image Improvements
Website: https://arubadirectory.com/
Work Type: Manual WordPress Media Updates + Directory QA

| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Listings reviewed | 25 |
| Listings updated with photos | 22 |
| Listings with two images | 15 |
| Listings with one image | 7 |
| Listings without photos | 3 |

The three listings without verified images were Sufi Laundry, BSL Laundry, and Piso Tres Workcentre.
Compressed oversized images for Aruba Nature Adventures and QESH Services to meet the uploader’s 2 MB limit.
Verified that the images displayed correctly and that the published listing total remained unchanged.
Status: Image updates completed for 22 listings; three remain without suitable photographs.

The planned result was to reduce the published directory total from 1,869 to approximately 103 listings.
The cleanup was limited to moving records to Trash rather than permanently deleting them.
Status: Backup and cleanup preparation completed. Final published and trashed counts were not confirmed, and the retained listings still require live review.
