A new dawn - we hope you like it!

At last - the update on the AWARE site has been completed. After a marathon late night session all pages, both new and replacement, have been uploaded.

We've included more FAQs, more humour, more white papers, copies of presentations given at conferences and many resources to help competitive & marketing intelligence professionals stay at the top of their field.

There are a few bits we are still working on, but over the next few weeks these should be finished too. So bear with us. Our Business Sites for CI Professionals pages still require work - so that we can create the definitive resource of top sites to aid secondary research. We also plan to change a lot of the images and pictures - with new sharper, snazzier versions. And that's just for starters. Other changes will happen over time - with new content and support for competitive intelligence professionals worldwide.

This site update involved almost a complete rewrite of the way the site was built - and EVERY page had to be modified. Most of the changes are behind-the-scenes and apart from the new menu bar, you may not even notice differences on some pages. Believe us though - there were. The site now allows text size to be increased or reduced - complying with disability legislation and allowing visually impaired readers to read the site with ease. We've also labeled most (not yet all) images so that visitors using Braille readers can identify the graphic elements.

As with any undertaking this size, there may be mistakes, typos, errors, or pages that just don't work. There may also be some pages that look inconsistent, or where fonts change half-way through or between pages. Some pages may look odd on your browser and although we've tried to check for this, we may have missed something. (The look of a page can vary depending on the computer used, the screen resolution and the browser. Our favourite browser is Firefox, and all pages looked OK using Firefox. We also tested the site on an older version of Internet Explorer - but may have missed some things).

So, if you do spot errors, or things you don't like,
please let us know.
