The new Advent 3B2 website is a unique conception that complements Advent’s new corporate image. The website aims to communicate information about Advent and 3B2 in a clear and effective manner.
The main site is deliberately minimal in content so that users are provided with a concise overview of Advent and 3B2 in an easy to navigate environment. Because it is simple to use, you will be able to find the information you want and get the most out of the site.
The In-Depth section of the website provides the user with more extensive information on Advent, 3B2 and many aspects of the publishing industry. This information can then be used to produce a personalised fact book. The information book creator, working with 3B2, allows users to customise this information by selecting the content that particularly interests them as well as choosing the style and format of the fact book.
The In-Depth information book creator provides an opportunity to demonstrate 3B2 in action. The website content is written in XML, enabling the production of documents in extensible formats now and in the future. Not all of these formats may require 3B2, but for high quality formats, 3B2 is the only choice.
The brief website will navigate as usual, by following the hyperlinks and menu items. Only when you would like more information and select the 'In-Depth Info Viewer' link does the Advent 3B2 website come into its own. A new window will open displaying content, in context with where you came from in the brief section.
To navigate within the In-Depth information, simply click on the appropriate section in the expandable hierarchy tree menu on the left of the screen.
Our website forms a major part of a new 3B2 XML knowledgebase being constructed by Advent for the benefit of all our users. Using a custom built DTD it will eventually encompass all of the technical documentation and associated information. For more information please see Technical Documentation.
