Welcome to our new web site!
June 15, 2010
-
We are pleased to announce the 2010 version of the Winstep web site. For a company that features the latest and greatest in Desktop Enhancement software, we couldn't go on looking like we're still in 2001. The old web site design was great and lasted a long time, but, just like the User Interface of Winstep applications, it badly needed a brand new look and feel.
It's not all about a pretty face, though: just like the new User Interface in Winstep applications, the new site is an order of magnitude more user friendly and much easier to navigate.
We also can't thank Johanne Courtright at i-Umami enough for once again going above and beyond the call of duty and creating this incredible web site which we are proud to call 'Winstep's new home'.
