Website Development
October 2001:
Our first website was launched in 2001 with the brief of advertising for a replacement partner for Dr Vivian Davies due to retire that year.
It was designed using what was available - Microsoft Publisher!
2002:
We immediately started designing our second site - the internet bug had bitten.
It was designed with Dreamweaver MX but used tables and frames. The code was bloated but the website was functional and did prove popular.
2006:
With Dreamweaver 8 we moved into the realms of CSS, PHP and table free layouts. The design stayed liquid until 2008 when a fixed width was adopted.
