New ProCon.org Design and Features as of June 30, 2008  For nearly two years the staff of ProCon.org has been working on a major revamp of our websites in order to improve the look, functionality, and features available on our homepage and issue sites. We have had our current design since ProCon.org was formed on July 12, 2004.We are proud to announce the new ProCon.org sites that became available starting Monday June 30, 2008.
Some of the new and improved features available on our sites include:
We have also upgraded our backend content management system so we can add information and make edits more efficiently. Given the substantial amounts of data on our websites, the redesign project required a tremendous effort. We had over 25 people from six companies in five cities spend over 9,000 cumulative hours to (among other things): * Transfer over 5,500 pro and con arguments * Rewrite over 6,000 introductory statements * Transfer about 1,500 resource pages * Transfer over 2,500 source biographies * Relink nearly 47,000 links * Reupload over 1,400 files * Clean up over 2,000 images * Research and update content on thousands of pages Not to mention all the technical backend work, the design work, the server maintenance, the database construction, and the coordination of all those people involved in the project. If you have any comments on our new look or have suggestions for how we can continue to improve, please contact info@procon.org. Thanks again for visiting ProCon.org.
