For those of you following the adventures of Brown Estate on Facebook and Twitter, you may have caught wind of the fact that we have been working for the last two and a half months on updating our Website. You may also have begun to wonder when it would ever be done.



Well, you are looking at the third incarnation of brownestate.com since we first went live on the Internet back in 2003. Were you with us then? Do you remember what our first Website looked like? We changed things up from the original in 2005, and here we are halfway through 2009 with what we hope you will agree is our much improved new site, inspired by simplicity of design and ease of use, which are guiding principles of Web 2.0.

The most significant update we have made, apart from the design and layout, is to our online store. We have taken steps to make it much easier for you to purchase our wines online; from our home (or main) page, you are just one click away, via the Wines link, to selecting the wines you want.

We also have added an interactive photo gallery, which will be expanded down the line to include thematic photo albums. And we have incorporated our blog into our Website, and have added links to our Twitter and Facebook pages. As well, you will find up-to-the-minute news on our main page via our live Twitter Feed (at right).

We welcome your feedback, so let us know what you think!
