What's New
09/14/2010 -- Still coming in 2011 ...
It has been a very long time since this site was updated. This latest update
is something of a 'steady as she goes'.
Some of our sites over the years had some kind of dynamic content.
This has empirically turned out to be a poor choice. As technology
changed and more complex software had security and/or dependancy
issues, the sites relying upon facilities for dynamic content
became unmaintainable. Around the time that HushWebs had a face-lift
in 2002 or so it had become clear that we could only rely upon
relatively 'vanilla' sites.
Since that time, we have built sites using variants of our own
PHP code. The code generates the site on the fly using a very
plain model and code, content and skins are all separate.
This leads to rather dowdy sites that don't see updates that
often, especially to their look and feel. However, they continue
to operate through numerous browser changes, operating system
changes, shifts to platforms such as cell phones, changes in
search engine indexing, etc (things like cell phone browsers were
not envisioned in 2002, but our HushWebs
site works fine in them).
In the past few years our plans have been impacted by a sluggish economy.
The year 2009 was very slow for both us and our clients.
This appears to be improving. During the spring of 2010 we saw a slight
improvement in activity. Starting in the Fall, many of our clients
have come looking to us for various solutions.
We are still committed to moving forward with the creation of dealerships
across North America.
Although it has been very challenging to finish development of products,
significant progress has been made. Choices made nearly ten years ago
appear to have been prophetic.
Old News
08/24/2006 -- Franchising:
It has been a year and a day since the last posting and that was just a quick link as a favor for a friend.
However, many things have been happening over the past couple of years.
We are now poised for expansion. You can read about it here:
Expansion
08/23/2004 -- Here is an interesting site:
http://www.tzome.com
These people are friends and have asked for a link to their site so that it will enter
the search engines more quickly. Here it is. It's a great idea and we wish them the
best of luck.
08/20/2004 -- Note that over the month of August we had outages that we have had
difficulty resolving quickly. The outages have not affected this site, but
have affected the following sites:
09/10/2003 -- Our site has moved to a new server and
we have updated the code base to our beta site development code. We are
still busy re-building all of our sites on a new code base. Trantor has
been updated to an intermediate version and will likely stay with this
version until all other sites are complete. Please let us know if you have
any problems.
11/29/2001 -- Trantor's new web is finally ready. It's
pretty minimal, but it does the job by linking to our many larger sites.
Plug:
This is a small business site from our own HushServer division. You can get one just like
this -- a high reliability site starting at only $249 from HushServer and it includes
everything you need to go online and stay there. Our high availability sites have not
experienced an unscheduled outage in their entire three years of operation -- 100%
scheduled uptime. Even including scheduled downtime, we have experienced an uptime
percentage better than 99.99%. If you are willing to give up that extra 1% of
uptime, you can get the same site for much less. Go to the HushServer
site for current pricing and features. This is the best deal in websites on the
internet.
Note that although the content is the same or similar, this is a new site. If you
don't find something here that you know from the old site, please let us know
by using the Contact Form.
