Platform

Homepage rewritten around the connected PogoTrades platform

PogoTrades replaced a tool-first homepage narrative with a connected trading and collector workflow that exposes the product systems built across discovery, coordination, trust, collecting, and sharing.

Reframed the homepage around Organize, Find, Coordinate, Build Trust, and Collect & Share.
Made Smart Matches, Regional Trade Finder, Match Alerts, Trade Proposals, Trade Journey, Trader Reputation, Collector Profiles, live Trade Demand, Discord, and sharing workflows visible from the homepage.
Connected homepage claims directly to authoritative feature guides, Product Demos, the Changelog, and About/trust definitions.
Kept live World Storage and community surfaces as product evidence while separating them from fictional public demo data.
Expanded homepage SEO, FAQ content, and WebApplication structured data to describe the full platform rather than a narrow list-generator or friend-finder toolset.
