Welcome to a New Year and a new look Clayton Family web site!

The Clayton Family web site first launched in 2000 after Andy had spent a few years running smaller sites with little family information on them.

Over it's first decade the site has gone through a number of different incarnations always concentrating on its main brief to update anyone who needs (or wants) to know what is happening to Andy and Melanie Clayton and members of their close family.

The latest redesign is more than just a new look, it introduces some advanced (so-called) Web 2.0 technologies. You'll find more interactive features than on the previous version of the site that will hopefully make the site more enjoyable to look at and navigate.

There will also be a chance to add your own comments to articles that appear on these pages. You will see a "Comment on this page" link below some articles. Your input is very much appreciated!

Because this is a major update to the site, including adding lots of new content, the changes will be rolled out over the coming weeks. Initially, the Family section is being worked on with the Holiday pages being the first to receive a make-over. You will know if you're on a new-look page as it will have drop down menus at the top of the page and have the new look format. Areas that haven't been worked on yet will still have the old look for the time being.

As this is such a big change, please let me know if you have any problems viewing pages or using the interactive features of the site. Tests are carried out in Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome. There are some minor issues in Internet Explorer 7 at the moment. We recommend Firefox or Safari for viewing this web site.

Thank you for taking the time to read this page, and please let me know what you think of the new look site!
