APTC Website Redesign Announcement
APTC is proud to announce the release of our new website. Our new site has been redesigned with a fresh look and new features intended to enhance user experience and make information more accessible across a broad range of viewing devices.
We have enhanced search and sorting features to help insure you find the most relevant information. Social bookmarking gives our users the ability to quickly share content across a range of popular social media platforms.
Our members will enjoy increased exposure through our random "Member Spotlight" module. Logged-in members have the ability to bookmark their favorite articles and submit content through our streamlined submission forms.
The redesign is intended to ensure that the site remains effective to our Members and Clients.
APTC is continually expanding it's online content to bring you updated and relevant information, so we encourage you to bookmark it and check back often. Connect with us on Twitter to receive notice when updates and new content is added.
Thank you to our APTC website committee and website developer Highwire Design for their expertise and dedicated work on this project.
