The menu item page links are automatically updated when the page URL changes. The menu items for external URLs are not automatically changed.
Images can be resized and style set from the page authoring user interface.

stSoftware can use the Waterfall project methodology which locks down business requirements and scope at the start of the project and enables set time frames with guarantees. We prefer to use the Agile project methodology as it is increasingly recognised as providing better outcomes with shorter project times and lower costs to client as overheads are reduced.
With Agile projects the client and the vendor teams work closely together on smaller deliverables. This collaborative environment reduces
