Affinity Web Solutions Ltd Changes Name to Amity Web Solutions Ltd

We have changed company name today to Amity Web Solutions Ltd.

The move was primarily to avoid confusion with another similar sounding company and ensure we continue to stand out from competition but it also gave us an opportunity to re-brand the website and logo with a new and improved image (although we released the design some weeks ago).

New Website Released for Amity Web Solutions

We've released a new website today to replace what we considered an old and outdated design. Our old site was not actually that old, nearly 2 years, but in web years that must be getting on quite a bit! Having a new website every year or two, or at least a major revamp, is always a good idea to ensure your business on the web keeps up with the times and utilises the latest technology, search engine recommendations and user experience and expectation changes.

We wanted the new site to follow some design principles of Web 2.0 to represent some of the capabilities of websites we can develop and recommend, especially the following:-

• Social network links
• JQuery animation
• Larger and clearer heading font
• Bold text introductions
• Larger and clearer buttons
• Content from our blog, newsletters and twitter
• Simplicity in design
  
• Separate sections/coloured areas
• Simple navigation
• Stronger use of colours
  

We think the new site is a lot more modern and represents the area of web design and development a lore more. We hope you like it and welcome any comments.

Our Jobs Manager for Recruitment Agencies has been Updated for Joomla 1.5

We have now released the Jobs Manager component for Joomla 1.5. Our previous version would not work on the much improved Joomla 1.5. This gave us the opportunity to re-develop the system from scratch using MVC (model view controller) architecture for a much better designed and built system.

The Jobs Manager component is designed for recruitment companies to manage their jobs online. Jobs can be added and edited to be listed on the website front end, with a search form for job seekers to find specific jobs for them.
