Images and Backend The site is built on Movable Type, an industry-leading platform. Well-labelled high-res Photoshop versions of every image are readily available, in case the site ever needs visual revisions.

Documentation Using the site is easy -- just ﬁll in four form ﬁelds. In case users need help, there’s a written guide (with revision control) as well as a video tutorial.
