Major site redevelopment

The current Mystify site is starting to look a bit tired and contains 3rd party components that have been flagging up with security warnings for a while.

My options were to either upgrade the site but keep it within the same framework, or completely re-do it.

When I say, 'completely', that's not quite true, as the functionality in the database doesn't need changing.

However, since I did the last version of Mystify, I have learned lots of better ways to even do some of these.

Plus, as part of my real job, I have moved onto different technologies. As I used the site partly as a test bed for new ideas in terms of work, then I've made a decision to try to improve as many aspects as possible.


Thus, I have made a start on a complete new site and have completed the security (login) aspects and am now working on the home page.

I won't say much more for now, as a lot of work is to come.

However, I will leave the current home page screenshot here.....
