essexchess gets a makeover

The Website is receiving a makeover and you can get a first view of the new site right now, by following the link below.

The principal features are:

  • New navigation structure with four main groupings: Activities, ECA Admin, History, Site Admin;
  • Wider page;
  • Printer-firendly and PDF versions available for principle items;

Initially, the new pages and the existing site will be run in parallel, but before long the new pages will take over.
