Hartismere Website :: A History :: 2016

In 2016 the website got another facelift and another rewrite in C#.

Many of the concepts of the 2014 website remained - but were optimised and improved. The total size of the website was about 200Gb.

A key change was the removal of pages, and a traditional hierarchical navigational structure. Gone are menus and nested pages, Instead, the website is made up of items which are grouped together by "tags" - much like other web2.0 sites like Facebook and YouTube etc.

A lot of the "clutter" was removed and a fancy "landing" page was added.
