WIREs Water

The scope of WIREs Water is at the interfaces between five very different intellectual themes: the basic science of water, its physics and chemistry, flux, and things that it transfers and transforms; life in water, and the dependence of ecosystems and organisms on water to survive and to thrive; the engineering of water to furnish services and to protect society; the people who live with, experience and manage the water environment; and those interpretations that we, as a society, have brought to water through art, religion, history and which in turn shapes how we come to understand it. These interfaces are not simply designed to be ways of looking at water through what necessarily must be interdisciplinary perspectives. They are also designed to be outward facing in terms of how water can help to understand wider questions concerning our environment and human-environment interactions.

Pfeiffer Custom Redesign

PfeifferCustom, a service selling custom training material went up about a year and a half ago. Just last Friday, it had its first redesign. Previously, the homepage was a splash advertisement. The new one is more functional and provides a lot of "help" instruction based on experience over the past year. With the growing list of franchises, a more complete top navigation was also created. Now, the user can get to any franchise from any page. The old site had "about" links in the topnav.

Changes include:
- 5 new franchises
- Homepage with instructional rollovers
- Step-by-step videos
- User-friendly top navigation
- Testimonial interviews
