If you are new to IP.Content then you can easily become lost, we are aiming to bring our frontend online very soon. Yes, we use IP.Content already on here for some static pages, however our new frontend is much more advanced not only with the way we have implemented it, but also the entire design.

We encountered issues with using jQuery which doesn't work well with IP.Board's Prototype.js. However, you will soon see that we have modified our use of jQuery to work regardless,and to avoid conflicts.

We have had a few people ask us about the navigation system being uses on here, this was an advanced CSS menu system wrote in pure CSS, and uses no javasript. It has been modified in many ways and tied heavily in to IP.Board using IF Tests, so only certain elements show depending on which usergroup you are viewing from.

Our new online tools are functioning using IP.Content, these require some slight modifiying as we progress further to bring online the rest of the features. We will have some unique blocks available for IP.Content shortly, they were not available on the IPS Marketplace, so we coded our own.

Some areas of IP.Content is written by 3rd parties, we have purchased the full rights to use the code on here, these scripts will not be for sale, since they were purchased for use only on this website, and exclusively by Echelon Designers. Most blocks we use do not come into this category and will be free to use on your own IP.Conent based IP.Board.

We know the design layout will attract many people, since we are not using standard sliders like other IP.Boards, we have implemented jQuery and custom javascript routines that are far more advanced. The use of sliders these days are used on many websites, cms's, etc - but we wish to remain unique,and to do that requires our designs to be different in many ways.

Shortly, we will demonstrate the power of IP.Content on a new level. Most IP.Content related sites look very similar, when using blocks because they tend to use the same CSS as IP.Board - this can look quite effective if integrated properly, on the other hand it can make or break a site.

Also, note we are still tweaking our SEO, and the benefits show from our statistics.

Get ready, for IP.Content working in ways you never thought possible...
