Progress!!

Listeners of the World,

As many should note I have been boasting about a grand redesign of OurTown.com and I am here to give a much needed progress report! In this report I will touch on the programming side of the site and the design side of the site to give an overall report.

Over the past few months we have been working with Minimaal concepts on the design portion of the new OurTown.com. We are now over halfway done with having approved the new "front page", "local area portal", "Local editor admin", and "sign up process for users". We still have our new "ad sales portal" and "sign up process for local editors" left to be completed. We will look forward to approving those mock ups by the end of the month completing the design portion of the new site!

Now that we have covered the very important new design look for OurTown.com, we must cover the equally important functionality of the new site......the programming! Our team of programmers have been working for months now programming our new site in a completely new language.....ASP.NET. They have now completed almost all of the databases, the new structure of the site and are working on the new content management system. They still have about a month and half to two months worth of work left and are hoping to start meshing up the look with functionality early April. They have been working hard to make sure the none of the local editors have to work hard while using the site!

In my next post I will be posting links to the new design and will hopefully have a much more detailed update on the programming work. Until next time...

Your OurTown Superhero,

Chris
