Website Upgrade

As with my laptop, I have a policy of giving my website a make-over every two years. The previous revision was introduced in early 2009, and has received many positive comments from visitors to the website.

Having made the decision to integrate the web design and web hosting units of my business more closely under the Marathon Software banner, it was obvious that the content of the website would need updating. While the previous iteration was clean and functional, it made sense to adopt a new "look and feel" to take advantage of advances in website technology.

To this end, I have chosen one of the stunning templates designed by YOOtheme, one of the leading Joomla! template and application developers in the world. Their February 2012 template, Revista, includes the following features: -

Dedicated Mobile Theme
Full support for HTML 5
Lightweight CSS Framework
Javascript Effects
Flexible Layout Positions
Customisable Styles
Blindingly Fast Page Refresh

Combining the power of an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) with a visually stunning template, and including K2, an award-winning Content Customisation Kit (CCK) makes the production of content for the website a snap.

Finally, to compliment the new look and feel, there is a new logo being designed, but I couldn't wait for that to launch the site, so it'll be added later. Keep an eye out for the new brand in the next couple of weeks.

I hope everyone will take the time to browse around the site, and leave me your comments at the bottom of this post.
