We have been very busy today, uploading our brand new navigation menus. We wanted to make the menu more free to float, rather than just a bunch of boxes. Further to this the 'Discover' pages have graduated to be a main section. Lots of bug fixes have also been applied across the site. The homepage has also had a few fixes to. And, yes there is more...the search engine has been adjusted. Basically we wanted to refresh the look, but reduce the loading time of pages, and hey hey! We have done it. Let us know the feedback. What a day it has been!
