First, a bit of history. We\u2019ve been in business now for more than five years, and as time goes by, it can get tough to take the time out for a project like this. They say the cobbler\u2019s children are the last to get new shoes, and I believe it\u2019s true. It certainly is for us.<\/p>\n
In the past, it wasn\u2019t this hard! In our first few years, we went through the first three versions of our site. Version 1 was terrible \u2013 I don\u2019t know what I was thinking. This was in February of 2001. Version 2 was a little better \u2013 we actually had a few legit clients, as of mid-2003! Version 3 was 100% made with Flash, which didn\u2019t work too well over time, but it was fun. This is now in March of 2004.<\/p>\n
After that, we knew we wanted something a bit more professional than what had been representing us up until then. In March of 2005 we released version 4, which used some of that Flash, but added more text and resources, including a blog. We built it in a weekend, not realizing that it would last us so long. As it turned out, this version was up for almost three years.<\/p>\n
There were some problems with that last version. For one thing, there were a half-dozen logins. We had a login to work on our support articles, a login to write in our blog, a login to see our statistics, a login to see our client surveys, and so on. When you have that many places to log in, you tend to get lazy, and you tend not to give your site the respect it deserves. Those days are over!<\/p>\n
