The current incarnation of the WINenergy web site was designed and built in October 2005 by Lloyd Borrett.

Tools

Adobe Illustrator CS and Adobe PhotoShop CS were used to build the graphics for the web site.

NoteTab Pro was used as the text editor to write the content.

The starting point for the design of the WINenergy web site was the andreas02 template by Andreas Viklund. This CSS based tableless template was ported to Etomite, modified to meet our requirements, plus made more cross-platform browser friendly.

Platform

The WINenergy web site runs using the Etomite Content Management System, an open source solution released under the GNU license scheme. Etomite is a CMS solution built using the PHP scripting language with MySQL for the database.

Several Etomite Snippets were created or adapted to generate various elements of the web pages, e.g. the page crumbs, various menus, page specific meta tags etc. Snippets are also used to generate pages from the documents database, e.g. site map, news listing etc.

The DHTML Menu used for the main top menu is licensed from Milonic. The menu data is generated from the Etomite document database.

The web site is hosted by JaguarPC on servers running the Linux operating system, using the Apache web server.

Web Standards

The WINenergy web site respects W3C standards. The web site is currently validated to XHTML 1.0 Transitional with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
