What's Inside?

Rearranging The Furniture & Changes To Menu System

We have noticed lately that the number of links from our home page into our website had grown to a HUGE number, making it confusing to anyone who came to our site to find their way around. We are basically "rearranging the furniture" on the site right now.

We hope to complete 90% of the work by August 6th and the rest of it shortly thereafter. I think you will REALLY like some of the things we are doing to simplify getting around and getting designs. But right now, it is very possible to click something and end up in the wrong place and I apologize for the inconvenience.

We've made some updates to the top "Navbar". That's the menus that run along the top of the website in the blue area. We're doing this in order to make more room on the menu in preparation for some additional features that are being added to the site.

Here's a quick guide to finding anything that you're no longer seeing up there...

"Design Library" is now just "Designs"

"Daily News" is now just plain "News"

"Forums" and "MyATW" are now part of "Community"

"Support" is now part of "Contact Us"

Wow. I know that's a lot of changes but I think you will like the additional features that we are making room for today.

-- Larry
