*The site is now live!!!*

*The new site design is now finished!! I am currently working on transferring all of the content from the site over to the new template!  This may take some time as I really just have to recode all of the tutorials and such.  Please be patient as I work as hard as I can on this!  I will get the new site online as soon as possible!*

Our Goal
To create a new theme for the website http://willstech.org/ that is appealing to users and guaranteed to be compatible with the Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, Apple Safari, Flock, Seamonkey, and Google Chrome browsers. Our secondary goal is to learn the concepts of web design more thoroughly!

This is the changelog for the new Will’s Tech design.  We are working on the design and it will be up as soon as we are finished with it and have tested everything and make sure that everything works!

We are trying to make this as cross-browser compatible as possible, and we have a list of browsers that we are supporting above.  If you use a different browser or know of a browser that isn’t listed, please tell us below!  This is our need of help from you!  Thanks!
