3. PRIME’s new look website
———————————————————-
We’re using the summer holiday season to make improvements to our web site. So far we’ve moved to a new host, upgraded to the latest version of the content management system WordPress, and switched to a more modern site design.
http://www.primebusinessclub.com/2010/09/welcome-to-our-new-look-web-site/
We hope the brighter magazine-style layout will make everything easier to find. The transformation is almost complete, but there will still be a few glitches, so please bear with us.
For example, the forums, text-to-speech service and accessibility controls aren’t working yet. The resources area – which includes hundreds of pages of useful information is now working again, including the latest stories added yesterday. But it looks a bit of a mess as it hasn’t been styled yet to look like the rest of the site.
