X-Fire Design Labs Launched

We are pleased to announce the launch of the X-Fire Design Labs. The labs is the area of our site that we have set aside for current developments and work in progress. Many of our clients have been asking for this for a while, and we have finally found a great way of implementing it. It allows us to showcase our current experiments, and creates an easy place for all our clients to find their projects that we are currently working on.

New Support System

Support

Before this update the Client Area included a form which could be submitted to send an email to us, with information about a problem or concern. We have got rid of this frankly rubbish solution and have integrated a fully functional support desk. Continue reading ‘New Support System’
