Way back when...

If you have never used it, The 'Wayback' machine over at archive.org is an amazing resource. It can provide you with a snap shot of just how a given website has looked going back through the years. Just type in a URL and it will show you how a site was 'way back when' (try putting in Google to see how that looked in '98).

I was just browsing it earlier to see if I could work out when the last time we significantly updated the FCP/ evolve website was.. thinking that maybe it was 2005 or so...  I was wrong :-(

Yup, 2003 was the last year we seriously changed the look and feel of our website.. terrible I know.. but then in truth we've been so busy building FCP and our evolve™ customer base..well..you know how it is..

The good news is that despite that, we've enjoyed fantastic growth and a loyal customer base all over the world, for which we are grateful.

It really is my pleasure though though to finally be able to take the wraps off this, our brand new site - which we hope you will find informative and useful!

It has certainly been a great deal of work, for which I have to just thank some of the people who have contributed - including Kat, Vince and Lucie at School Digital who pulled out the stops to do all of the design, layout and CSS work for us at short notice.

One thing I promise is that in these Web 2.0 days, we will be making much more active use of the new site - in particular the blogging section here will, I hope come to be a regular way in which we get to talk about the things that are relevant to our customer, users and colleagues; so do check back regularly (or make use of the RSS feed) to see what's new.

As ever, any feedback, positive or negative is welcomed, so do get in touch. Other than that, hope you enjoy the site.
