I really Wish  :) :)

The reality is that I am putting in a lot of extra hours in readying the new site. We have had a specialist web-development team building the new site for us to be something really special - however it has involved hundreds of hours of work for myself in getting it all sorted. I will be working on it still during the break to ensure it is ready for the 5th  :)

Our old site was incredibly fast  :)

The new one will not be quite as lightning quick  :( , but it is a lot more capable and will have user features to make life easier/quicker for our regular clients.

Your ease of use website is one of the main selling points for me.

You need to sell your old site to other WFP supply companies so many are just so bad.

Whilst the page loading speed is slightly slower on the new site, we have worked hard to make navigation even quicker. For instance it is possible to access any product with just 2 clicks on the new site rather than on the old site which could take up to 6 clicks/pages to load to get to the same product.

The 'Human Element' will still be the same  :)

Because the back office part of the software will now be much more efficient it should also help improve our customer service and efficiency.

The new brushes will not yet be available when we re-open on the 5th of January. However we hope to have some more information about them on the new website for clients when it launches.
