“Brand new website!” that’s what you’re greeted with when you go to www.gould.com.au now. That’s right, we’ve finally updated our website. We know it’s been needed for a while, but it’s not been an easy task finding something that can cater to our website’s needs. Anyway we have one. It’s up. And it’s bright and shiny and hopefully you will find it works well for you (if not, please do let us know).
This year (2016) marks our 40th birthday, and of those years we’ve actually been online for 20 of them, so it seemed very timely to get a new website to celebrate.
So while I wanted to introduce you to our new website, I also wanted to take a moment to look back at our previous incarnations over the years … and thanks to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, I can. Now don’t laugh, I know they look ‘old-fashioned, and out-of-date’ now. But it also proves that websites do need updating periodically.
Anyway, how many of these do you remember?
our first website – 1996
a new logo, a new address, and a new website – 2002
same website, with a bit of a makeover – 2007
another new website and another new logo – 2009
our brand new website – 2016
