It's alive!

posted Thursday, 26 April 2007

After a lot of fighting with CSS and a stroppy web server, the new Launchpad website is now online!

Why a new website you may ask?  Well it's now based upon a Content Management System.  This means non techy users can log into the site via a browser and update elements of the website, leaving the design and hosting aspects to us.  It'll allow our volunteer staff to contribute directly to the website without the massive learning curve.

We've also added some extra functionality such as search and the sitemaps protocol.  This nifty wee thing is nothing more than an XML file that tells search engines such as Google and Live Search when a page has been updated.  It saves them crawling the site as often and improves the search engines accuracy.  Well worth looking at for your website.  http://www.sitemaps.org has all the details.
