Finally our new website is up and running – and we are sooo pleased with ourselves!

As I am sure those of you who are regular visitors to the site will agree, an overhaul was very much needed. The old site has served us well for nearly 5 years now, but it was never going to win any beauty contests.

We wanted to improve the look and usability of the site but we also wanted to improve some of the “behind the scenes” functionality.  We have upgraded our content management system – which will mean that it is easier for us to keep the content of the site up to date.  We have also worked on our image management – so that even though the site now has a lot more going on visually, it should still be fast-loading for users, whatever part of the world you happen to be in.

We have added a new “Knowledge Base” section which we hope you will find useful, and which we will be adding to over time.

Though we have the technical know-how in house to put together a website no one would call us artistic, so we knew we needed to find a good designer to work with.  This proved surprisingly challenging and we kissed an awful lot frogs before we finally found Suman Shrestha, in Kathmandu, Nepal, who has done a great job for us.

We hope you like the new site, and find it easy to use and a bit more interesting to look at and we would really appreciate hearing from you if you have any comments, suggestions or feedback for us.
