+
+If you're a frequent visitor of our website, you might have noticed that we've switched over to an all-new design.
+
+The previous version used WordPress to both manage and display the content on and off our website, but performance wise,
+WordPress is quite heavy and slow.
+
+In fact, we had a very low score on Google PageSpeed Insight for both mobile and desktop devices and as such, we decided to rework the entire site using
+[GatsbyJS](https://gatsbyjs.com), [React](https://reactjs.org) and [Material-UI](https://material-ui.com/).
+
+One thing to note is the increased performance: Our site will load approximately 3 times faster!
+In addition, the entire website is completely open-source, meaning you can edit, build and even host your own
+instance!
+
