Website Relaunch!

I am so excited to present to you the relaunch of the wanart website! This overhaul was so long overdue. It’s truly amazing how far technology has come in the last 5 years! I still remember staying up late into the wee hours of the night trying to figure out how to code each individual website page from scratch. I’m happy to say those days are over!

Not only is the website more user-friendly but it is much more easier for us to update so we can make sure the website is always stocked with the latest wanart goodies!

Thanks for all the support!

xoxo,
joyce
