Although still under construction, Sholight launches a newly redesigned website. Quoting Tyler Littman, Sholight's owner, "This is something long over due. For years I designed the site using outdated techniques which made it much harder to keep it updated. In fact for the most part we only did an updated every year or so."
Sholight's new site will allow for fast and easy updating as well as integration with social networking and news feeds through Facebook and Twitter. Coupled with Sholight's use of Google Apps Premier Edition and a new VOIP based phone system the company can communicate with its clients with great ease. "We've always tried to be early adopters of new technologies", says Littman, "I will admit we slipped a little with the old website but now we are trying to make up for. I hope everyone enjoys this more modern, up-to-date look."
Keep an on this page for news more changes to the site. Sholight hopes to post new updates and pages on a daily bases throughout the month on February.
