Our old static page website at www.divesports.com  worked very well for us for several years and continues to work today.  Unfortunately, maintenance on that site is extremely difficult.  A simple price change on a single product might take 30 minutes to complete.  With hundreds and hundreds of static pages, searching for every instance of a particular product is difficult.  Even then, we often realize that we missed a page when making a product change.

As we now focus our efforts and energy on the new managed content system, I have finally realized that the old site will not look quite as nice for the holiday season as I might have hoped.  In such a small store, with a very limited number of employees, we simply don’t have the manpower to do everything we would like to do with the old site, while maintaining our efforts to continue the progress on the new site.  The old site only needs to survive for another month or two.

This actually makes me a little sad.  The old website was my personal baby.  I was the only webmaster.  Every page, every picture, every description was mine and mine only.  I hate to go through the holiday season without giving it the attention is deserves.  Unfortunately, that isn’t possible.  We have to move forward.  I realize that the new site will be easier on our customers and much easier on us.
