New features in The Carents Room

Carents logo

This month we have been busy decorating The Carents Room.  There’s a lot more going on behind the scenes but these are some of the most obvious changes this month. 

New website address

We have a new site address  carents.co.uk but don’t worry, our old address will lead you here  – all paths lead to The Carents Room!   Our new name has many advantages, the main one being it is quicker to type in to your browser  –  and as you know, we are all about making your lives easier. 

New accessibility software

To make your carenting lives even easier still, we have also installed some accessibility software.  The software – known as Recite Me  – has lots of great features and functions specially designed to overcome some of the common problems experienced by website users.  Whether it’s about preferring to read content in a different language, or making the font style or size easier to read, our accessibility menu can help you.  You can also use the menu to change our colour scheme or recite the content aloud.  

Basically, you can take control of the interface and tailor your Carents Room experience to best your own needs and preferences. 

We have plenty more treats coming up for you. This interior design project has only just begun so pop back soon to find out more!
