Retro can be pretty cool, but this was actually pretty sad. That’s a screenshot of our website dating back to 2002 (!), which has finally been replaced with a cleaner, more modern version you are seeing now. Never mind HTML5, responsive design, or embeddable fonts — our original site used tables for layout, query string parameters for language-handling, and a long outdated template engine. In fact, the original project dated back so long that CVS was used internally for source control up until a few years ago, when we finally migrated it, kicking and screaming, into Subversion, and then to Git last year.

Our new site isn’t exactly state of the art, but it’s modern, mobile-friendly, and quick-loading. I’m hopeful our next update won’t have to wait another 12 years…
