Cobourg Internet

John Draper

Alma tells me it’s not exciting – too drab – but then I want the site to be informative more than being a feast for the eyes.  I like to remember that the single most popular site, Google, is not colourful or exciting.  It’s just useful.  Other important sites like banks are equally “drab”.  However, there are sections on the refreshed site that have lots of photos and graphics.

The site was set up to be primarily on cobourginternet.ca instead of cobourginternet.com but it should not matter now what you use – both addresses work.  With the exception of the home page, all the page names are different so Google will get confused for a few days – maybe weeks.  You might even end up on this page which was moved to .ca a bit earlier.  This section also got refreshed!

Anyway the  main changes to the main site are:

• Wider page to suit wider displays while still being compatible with narrow screens
• Cleaner, more consistent layout
• Photo pop-ups are improved
• Most pages have print friendly icon so you can print the page more easily
• Most pages have email icon so you can email a link to the page to anyone.
• Improved “John’s Page” – ability to turn into a blog if needed.
• Accessible with ability to enlarge font and improved “alt” tags to make images accessible.  Fully standards compliant.
• Miscellaneous detailed edits and revisions to improve accuracy and relevancy.

I’d be interested in your comments so I’ve turned them on for this post. Click the heading of this post to go to the page for this post which allows comments.  To go to the new site, choose “Cobourg Internet home” from the menu. above.

P.S.  This will confuse Google – it will take a few weeks to get all the links right.
