The Great Website Debacle

As many of you whom follow Inertial Zen Designs most likely know, things around the office lately have been fairly busy as our Website underwent some redesign work.

In the course of a week, copy was rewritten to improve Search Engine Optimization. Elements reworked to allow for responsive design that makes the code look good and improve mobile consumption was also completed. All of this was done to create a better user experience.

However if you happened to point your browser towards the website on Monday and into Tuesday, you might have noticed that something was missing.

The Website itself was gone.

Now this little detail has not escaped Me and I am currently in a waiting game that is caused by a lack of standards.

You see, My website address is registered with a domain company, My files stored with another company who does the hosting. A move that was done as a security measure.  The problem though is how the domain company was requesting and displaying the files from the hosting server. The result, some features were  not working correctly.

To combat this, changes were made in how one calls for the other. Those changes though have to repopulate over the World wide web, and that can take days as no two connection points update their databases at the same time windows. some taking minutes, some multiple days


And that is why Inertial Zen Designs Website has been unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience.
