Yep! You are looking at the site with a new theme. While I liked the old look too, I am quite excited about the new theme I have adopted for the website.
It is Eleven-40 theme child theme for Genesis platform [on which the site is run]. The name comes from its maximum width 140 pixels.
This is one of the minor reasons I chose the new theme.
The major one is that the new theme is mobile responsive theme. It can detect the mobile devices and adjust the breadth accordingly.
So here is the good news. Accessing the website from a mobile device just becomes easier and better.
Would you please test on your devices and leave a comment on your user experience.
2011 has been a good year for BoneAndSpine if not wonderful. We have maintained a steady growth except for the temporary decline in last quarter.
The temporary decline in performance has forced me to draw a strategy on website work so that the growth is maintained at increased pace.
2012 is going to be wonderful year for the website.
I take this opportunity to wish you all a good health in 2012 and happiness that lasts lifetime.
Have a wonderful year ahead.
