Our new website 2.0

Posted February 9th, 2009 by Dom McGrail

Our new web site is still a work in progress, perhaps, but it’s a huge improvement on the temporary site we’ve had up for so long.

We’ve built this site using a host of web 2.0 style features; we’ve used wordpress to create the site, we’re building in remote access and creating integrated links to social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and flickr.

All of which has been a really interesting learning curve in itself and has helped us to increase our own understanding of this exciting area of web technologies.
