\"WebStarter<\/a>The IHBC has just re-vamped its WebStarter web resource, the primary route for anyone with an interest in conservation to learn about the IHBC and its work and support, with a new design modelled on cutting-edge design and technology, just like the first Apple designs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Charles Strang, IHBC\u2019s Communications Secretary, said: \u2018Remember that feeling when you used an Apple interface for the first time? Clear, simple, logical and uncluttered? Well, today its name is Webstarter and the future starts HERE<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC\u2019s IT adviser Peter Badcock said: \u2018We are leading the way again, as we have done it in the latest standards of ‘responsive’ styling that many will be familiar with from the award winning \u2018.gov\u2019<\/span> site. Here the layout automatically alters to fit various screen sizes, negating the need for separate mobile and desktop sites, and it\u2019s easier to update as well, saving management costs.\u00a0 You can test it by viewing on tablets and phones or just viewing on a desktop and narrowing the browser window to see how it changes.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Current thinking is for flat panels of colour, rather than gradients and shadows. The boxes used can have images as alternatives to text for this or future iterations of the main site and our other sites.\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018The WebStarter resource was launched last year as a way to offer easy access to users unfamiliar with the vast range of support carried across the IHBC\u2019s 30,000 or so web pages. Now it is central to our educational outreach work, as it\u2019s the starting point for developing programmes such as our evolving team-learning guidance programme, which we are piloting with Aberdeen City Council and which we\u2019ll formally announce in the coming weeks.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s also the starting point for our initiative to support conservation and related courses, in our Course Connection Day on 18 November, already announced on our NewsBlog.\u00a0 So if you are on a conservation course, or one that may be relevant, be sure to check with your tutor that they\u2019ve been notified, and if not get in touch with me at director@ihbc.org.uk<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n
