Website Revamp 2.1

We decided to split the second update to this website into two parts.

This first one (2.1) has greatly revised text and imagery, some bugs fixes, and lots of subtle changes in style and format and greater graceful enhancement for more capable browsers.

The second part of this update (2.2) will bring user control of layout, style switching and mobile device sensing with intelligent configuration and maybe more.

More updates soon...

Website Revamp

It's been some time in the making, as we have been so busy working with our clients, but here it is: the new shoes for industry website.

Built upon our new 'Stax' CSS Framework', it stacks up page content blocks, as if they were layers on a cake. This is extremely handy, as the open source CMSMS we used to develop this website also allows for multiple content blocks. A match made in heaven.

What's more, this is only part one. With part two comes the ability for user control of our enhanced layout, with fixed width, liquid or jello designs, style switching and mobile device sensing with intelligent configuration.

Watch this space...
