New Everything!

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Welcome to the new 4th Dimension Development site.  We decided that the time was here for a new design and took the opportunity to add some technologies to our site.  This site is now implemented in WordPress, which allowed us the most flexibility in design and the content management features that we needed.

Over the next few months we will be adding additional features for our clients, visitors, and ourselves.

Some of these will include:

  • Clients’ Area – to consolidate the tools we use to better serve our customers and manage their projects.
  • Applications – we are working on several web applications and a few iPhone applications.  We wish to both show our progress and to provide access to some of our applications.
  • More tips and how-to articles for our visitors and other developers.  Over the years all of us have used community resources to learn our craft, we want to share and give back.
