Grovel‘s new look!
“Hang on! Grovel didn’t used to look like this! What’s going on?” Glad you asked. We’ve changed the way the website looks and works, in an effort to improve our service. Read on to find out the whats, wheres and whys.
Unless this is the first time you’ve been here you probably can’t help but notice that things have changed a bit around here. Basically, we’ve decided to move from a hand coded site that took blooming ages to do anything with, to a new fangled site built around a simple WordPress template, which should allow us to do everything quicker and better facilitate important things like indexing.
So if you’ve noticed we’ve been a bit quiet over the last couple of weeks, now you know why – we’ve been up to our eyeballs in templates and code.
This first draft of the site is now complete though, and we wanted to get up and running as quickly as possible. This means that we haven’t had the time to transfer all our reviews across to the new system. This will probably take a while and we didn’t want it to get in the way of our writing news and new reviews for you to read, so we’ve launched the site empty with a view to pulling old reviews across as we go.
This means that if you want to view our archive of reviews, you should head over to the old site, which is still working behind the scenes. To browse through all our reviews, go to our Reviews Archive page; or simply hit the Search tab at the top of any page to find the review you’re after.
We hope you’ll stick with us while we continue the transition. If you’ve got any comments, please leave us a message below or contact us at the usual address.
