iOS: A visual history | The Verge

From this great article/history/guide, this is something I’ve discussed with several people and am excited about as I work on developing moving 360 Difference to the iOS platform :

…Theoretically, an iPad or iPhone could now become somebody’s sole computing device. That’s a significant change and while it could portend bigger things for the iOS platform in the future, for now it’s more of a necessary condition for a mobile computing revolution than a sufficient one…

In preparation for the release of 360 Difference 3.2 later this winter or early spring we’ve redesigned and reorganized our website.

We stepped away from the HTML table based design we had here and remodeled the site this time using CSS to format the presentation and WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS). To do that we took the Evo4 CMS WordPress Theme developed by Ray Gulick of Evolution Web Development as a development framework and modified the CSS to look like another Macintosh inspired WordPress theme we’ve used before called iTheme design by Nick La (our design for the HowToDisposeOf.com website uses Nick La’s iTheme as a framework and we just we made changes there to the CSS too to get the right look for that site).

You can see from the screenshots on the right of the two designs that they have a very different look so when you see how the Evo4 theme can be CSS coded to look like iTheme you can begin to see the power and design flexibility that CSS gives to web designers.

Our choice of using WordPress as a Content Management System also enabled us to use the WP e-Commerce plug-in from GetShopped.org to organize and run The 360 Difference Store.

As we continue to add software products this spring and post training videos and answer support questions in our FAQ we hope you’ll all tell us how this new web design looks and works for you.
