Getting to know the new seyDesign.

I can't begin to tell all of you how relieved I am to finally get the new seyDesign up and running. Is it done? Not at all. There are many things on the horizon; more content, more movies, more social net working, more feeds, more ways to get to know us... The reason we've held off on all that stuff being launched from the get-go is because that sort of stuff is easier to implement on the live platform. We thought it was best just to get it up and out and paint in the corners after. So far the response and reaction has been awesome. I am so glad you were all able to receive such a radical departure from the old seyDesign with an open mind. Our real focus on the new layout was to have user friendly navigation that would be easy to use and would always leave you with a feeling of knowing where you were at all times. The look and feel... it's intended to be informal and inviting, very community oriented and just an all round comfortable place to be and read and learn stuff. The "Home" tab has all the basics, the news, the resources (where you'll find the learning center), the transparent company and personnel information, the FAQ (which will expand with every new type of support question asked). The "Theme" tab is where you will find our products, RapidWeaver and WordPress alike. It's essentially in list form; select the name from the sidebar, learn a bit about it, find out about the design specs, features, live demos, etc... right there. The links are there right on each product page. The "Support" tab is where you can ask us for help, get in touch, sign up to be a member or learn about the other service we can offer you. The "Search" tab is how you can find your way around, whether it's through the search field (which won't be terribly effective for a while until the new site gets indexed again) or with the sitemap. I hope you have an enjoyable visit and I hope to here some feedback.
