| September 2006 to January 2007 | Our site gradually came to a standstill. Semi-enforced change of design and layout and the reason for no ISMS site updates since September 2006. [Our previous website software package (Web Plus 9) was taking two hours to upload the site. Our new software (FrontPage 2003) is considerably better and takes seconds.] |
