Actually our site was listed a few months back, but we’ve done some user testing I’ve pretty much redesigned it. We think the changes are significant enough to resubmit - have a look and see if you agree. So in essence I guess this is an update request for an existing listing?

We’ve also recently implemented Aaron Waldon’s CE Cache which has been nothing short of a revelation for the site’s performance. Great support from Aaron too, he contacted me after I posted a review on Devotee and has been kind enough to send me previews of upcoming versions and canvas us for feature requests.

John Wells’ Minimee is another recently discovered extension that is beautifully simple, plays nicely with our development workflow and basically just works. We’ve also adopted a template partials approach in the past couple months which was pretty much on the back of John’s article on the subject. We’re using MX Jumper to get rid of nearly all the php in our templates. This in conjunction with CE String means we can pretty much forget about turning php on in the control panel.

At the moment we’re working on implementing Better Workflow, which the content team are going to love. Channel Images is also in the pipeline I think, as we begin moving our images to Amazon S3.
