History of Padrinos website redesign
We finally made it and shipped the new version of Padrino! The expiring hosting) has finally forced us to switch to the new website. There are still some issues and not everything is working - we try to fix those things in the future.
This blog post will illustrate the process of the work.
First draft in 2013

A big thank you
We have to thank Darío Javier Cravero, Luis Merino, Peter Saxton, Nathan Esquenazi, namusyaka, Angelo Ashmore, Davide D'Agostino, and Matthias Günther for being involved.
We had several versions of the website and all worked enthusiastically to get the new site up and running. This is surely a big step forward to Padrino 1.0.0 stable release.
