Ionata Web Solutions is delighted to announce the public release of the new Metro Tasmania website.

The new website features customisable timetables, interactive route maps and a nearby bus stop search to help locate the bus stops.

Built in semantic HTML the website makes use of media targetted CSS to allow users to view, customise and print timetables.

The website also offers users the opportunity to personalise their experience by creating a MyMetro account.

Busmarks can then be labelled and shared or pasted into a website.

July Newsletter

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:02:33 +1000

For the past 6 months we've been busy rewriting our Content Management System (CMS) from the ground up and this quarter we were excited to release into the public domain.

The rebuilt CMS is important to us as it allows us to provide our clients with a simple and intuitive way to maintain the content of their sites. Giving clients the ability to maintain website content themselves reduces the ongoing costs of the website and keeps sites feeling fresh.

This quarter's newsletter features some great websites using the new CMS.
