videoaccelerator.com Revamped!

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Without drum beats or horn blows, we released the new version of the SVA website late last week.
When we release a new software version, it always seems “more important”, than merely facelifting a few web pages.
But the truth of the matter is, there is more to redesigning a website, than just plain “aesthetic optimization”, especially in this case.

Together with the SpeedBit design team, we decide that a complete re-design is needed, rather than a “patch job” on the old site.
We didn’t feel obligated to stay within the confines of a standard, color-on-white, corporate website presumptions and the result is the slick, stylish, dark-gray (it’s not black - see Ohad? I remember ) design you can see now. We love it.

In addition to overhauling the visual design, we also wanted to implement more features that we already knew we want, but never had time to put them in.
There’s a new Frequently Asked Questions section under Help, with new Q&As from our support team, including a brand-new online firewall guide.

We improved & redesigned the Server Status page, now completely database driven, which now allows you to see which of our 100+ supported sites is compatible with your SVA version in real time.
The new Buy page was redesigned to better address PC iTunes users.

All of the coverage and media exposure we got since we first released SVA, was also reorganized and redesigned, and can now be easily thumbed through in our Press section or directly from the homepage.

So even though this wasn’t a “new version release”, it was still a not-so-small challenge, and we are very happy and proud to offer our users a better browsing experience.
I know we are excited about the new videoaccelerator.com and I can just hope you will be too, when you see it.
So what are you waiting for, come on down!
