SocNetV Website Gets a Face Lift

After nine years of relying on plain HTML files for our web presence, it was time for the Social Network Visualizer (SocNetV) website to receive a modern overhaul. We’ve transitioned to the open-source GetSimple CMS, which offers a completely text-based, fast, and user-friendly experience.

The new design is based on a heavily modified version of the “my-company” theme, bringing a clean and professional look to the site.

Highlights of the Update

  • A new and improved News Section with historical content, allowing visitors to scroll through older updates.
  • A comprehensive Screenshots Gallery showcasing SocNetV in action from its early days to the latest features.

We hope you enjoy the revamped website and find it easier to navigate and explore!
