The new EMWA website is live! Faster, more legible and mobile responsive!

You may have already noticed the improvements made to the EMWA website caused by switching over to a new platform. Although the new website looks very similar to the old one, there is a marked difference in the speed and responsiveness of the website.
 
We have also taken this opportunity to modify some of the styling. The most noticeable difference is that the font used is now optimised to make the online text more readable.
 
The new template is also fully mobile responsive so all sizes of screen from the smallest smartphone up to a full 4k display will all adapt to display the website properly. Mobile responsiveness is also detected by Google and improves search engine ranking, particularly on mobile devices.
 
An array of other technical modifications have also been made to the website which will not be visible to the general user – e.g. improved encryption to make member information and logins more secure.
 
It has been a mammoth task to get all of this in place. Our sincere thanks go to the KSAM team at EMWA Head Office who worked very hard to deliver the newly revamped EMWA website.
 
Please let us know if you find any issues with the new website, or have any general comments regarding it. Equally, please also feel free to reach out if you would like to contribute content to the EMWA website.
