Website changes at Bonnie-Blink.com

We have made some major changes to the look of the website for Bonnie Blink Productions, our Philadelphia wedding videography company. Some of these were performance driven. The old design took too long to load and didn't display well on smaller screens. Our redesign is much faster, less resource hungry, and (in my opinion) a lot nicer looking. Another move that we made was to move the site to Squarespace, a managed web hosting company in New York. Not has performance improved, but Squarespace's excellent online content management system allowed us to redesign the site in record time. What is really neat is how you can make formatting changes on the fly. There was still some manual customization to be done, but it was easy to add Javascript and CSS to the site where needed. Using Squarespace doesn't offer as many options to tweak things as self-hosting, but it is much easier to maintain.
