WPC got a facelift today in the form of a new collection of layouts almost four years to the day after after the launch of their Ecclesiact website.
Pastor Werner was looking for something more 'bloggy' than their previous layout, and this new look for their website brings an assortment of data to the front page in an uncluttered way to let visitors connect with the latest offerings from Westmount Ministries to act as a gateway into deeper site interaction.
On a technical note, the site makes extensive use of the new CSS3 layout techniques now available to all of our sites thanks to the CSS3PIE library recently added to all editions of Ecclesiact - see http://www.ecclesiact.com/build/2.27.0.1677. These new methods are used for adding drop shadows, curvy boxes and graduated backgrounds to give a very contemporary layout with a bare minimum of HTML 'clutter' while still working with IE6, 7 and 8 which normally don't recognize these cutting-edge stylesheet techniques.

This build is about providing full support for truely responsive websites - more work still to be done, but this first step is massive with around 7,000 separate code changes in over 170 different files.
This complex task was made possible by the recent move to GIT for version control and live code deployment.
