New Website Launch

Hello all, and welcome to the new website of Systems Connect! Launched at approximately 4:50pm on June 3, 2010, it's an exciting time for us. We've had our new site in the works for months, but we've really been cranking for the past 30 days to get this launched, so today is a day of celebration.

First, the new site looks a lot different than the old one. As well it should. The old site had some real SEO punch, but the visuals were dated and no longer represented the quality that we're designing with today.

Secondly, the navigation hasn't changed all that much. We've consolidated things a little bit, but the same general functions are present. If you're a webmail user, the webmail button is still at the top right. If you want to contact us, just use the contact us link. And so on, and so forth.

There are a few extras, too. The portfolio, while still a work-in-progress, has a much-needed refresh with more of our recent projects.

For some technical jargon, we're using CSS3 transitions in several places, which means that our site currently looks best on modern webkit browsers, preferably Google Chrome, but Safari should work, too. Firefox will support them in version 4 due out this Fall, and Microsoft promises to get on board with IE9, which we wholeheartedly believe is not soon enough. This means that, for most people, our website actually looks better over time. Who else can say that about their website?

With these modern coding techniques, we hope to keep pushing the web forward. As such, we are not supporting Internet Explorer version 6. If you're still using IE 6, you have far more issues than our website, namely security, speed, and overall performance. You're living in the past, and we can't stay there with you. We have, however, included a very nice and friendly disclaimer for IE6 users to encourage them to upgrade their browsers, along with links and explanations. So if this applies to you, you've probably already seen the disclaimer and have either upgraded or bypassed it and are looking at a psuedo-functional website.

This disclaimer won't appear for IE7 users, however the site will only appear about 97% correct for this group. Our main goal with this is to continue to encourage browser awareness amongst our clients and web surfers in general.

Overall, this website is a much more accurate representation of the increasing quality of our work. We'll update often, fix bugs if they're found, and improve things as we're able. Please drop us a line if you like the site, if you don't, or if you just want to say "hi." Thanks for your time, and hopefully we'll get to work with you soon.
