Site development
This site is built using WordPress.
Layout
The changes in the layout and look of this website since April 2023 reflect improvements in structuring of the content under the surface. WordPress has been moving in this direction for a while now.
Over time, mobile phone display of the web pages is starting to become more tidy and easy to use. This is based on screen width and is a step towards responsive design. Larger corporate websites take a more sophisticated approach to it.
This package made the initial setup work easier. We can do without a more ambitious setup for some time to come. It will mean less disruption and better content.
The new grid layout for the home page postsJan 2024 helps:
- Side panel: search results and update previews
- to keep costs to a minimum with the free version of the layout software
Response time
Also, pages should appear in a more consistent period of time on a mobile phone than they did before. This optimisation was helped by another couple of online tools. A lot of the speed, though, is due to streamlining of some third-party software on the website.
PDF files
When you click a PDF icon the text may sometimes appear uneven, as shown on the right. Simply click the 
icon at the top of the display once or twice and it should become much more readable.
