theSnowSite.com is backup

The theSnowSite.com is back up and running.

The theSnowSite.com has undergone a major overhaul.

The ‘front-end’ looks different and is now more like a ‘traditional’ website. It is still AJAX driven and uses live feeds (webservices) to provide weather data etc. The site also now has additional ‘news’ data provided from the a number of ski/boarding areas (there is still a lot of work to do on this).

There has also been significant changes made to the ‘back-end’, i.e. the database – which are not obvious to the user, but are there. Geocoding (also called geotags) has been improved with a number of earlier errors tracked down and dealt with (we have also added ‘geocoding’ data to the resort webpages – although this is not yet fully implemented), so mapped data is now more accurate (there are still a few ski/boarding areas to do/double check).

There is still a lot of work to do, and a number of changes will be made over the coming weeks, so watch this space…. (subscribe to theSnowSite Blog)
