"We're delighted with the new website," affirmed Stardraw CEO, Rob Robinson. "It's a real pleasure to use and, for technophiles like us, it's exciting to know that it exploits cutting edge technologies. For those that want to know, the site is effectively an html application built using the Angular framework which is the same framework we're using for all our new online applications. The behaviour of the site applies sophisticated Angular and CSS techniques which means we can do everything that we might have done with HTML5 AND still support older browsers which might not support HTML5. The design philosophy we have applied is 'mobile-first' and 'cross-platform', so the new site works great with any browser on any device."
The new site also employs a Content Delivery Network (CDN) which means it's fast wherever you are in the world, and is hosted on multiple machines to offer redundancy, scalability and elasticity; as the site gets busier, more machines 'spin up' to deal with the workload, then scale down again in quieter times. It also integrates with Stardraw.com's administrative and accounting back-end systems.
