Counting Down to 2.0

We’ve got some exciting changes in the works here at Vital MX. Our ace programmer, Aaron, has been toiling for months on a new content system for all the Vital Media Network sites (www.vitalbmx.com, www.vitalskate.com and our personal favorite, www.vitalmx.com). That includes not only what you see when you visit the site, but what we deal with on the admin sides as well.

For several months Aaron went all nocturnal on us, grinding away on code until the wee hours of the morning. He’d send occasional photos to the office, showing the hermit-like beard that he’d adopted in his highly focused state. He, along with our President, Brad McDonald, also sweat thousands of details, big and small, all with the goal of making the sites speedier and easier to use.

We knew things were going well when he made the transition to working back in the office recently, and after a couple rounds of alpha and beta testing, www.vitalbmx.com went live on the new platform yesterday. (They got to be the guinea pig this time around, and if you want a sneak peek of the new site, you can check there.) From all the reports we’ve heard, www.vitalmx.com will not be far behind…maybe as soon as this weekend.

What can you expect out of the new platform? Well, virtually every facet of the site underwent serious scrutiny, and you’ll find tweaks and new features sprinkled throughout. Everything from log-in to your profile administration, to the new forums and speedier photo galleries, as well as the ability to comment on nearly anything on the site. it’s a vastly different site, but with a familiar feel. Think of version 1.0 as being a bone-stocker, and the new version as being the web site equivalent of a Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki.

We can’t wait for you to check it out, and we'll be curious to get your feedback.
