Launch of ST Base – SimpleTastes’ Versatile Website Creation Service
We are excited to announce the launch of ST Base, a versatile website development service under AEDI’s sub-brand SimpleTastes, which combines affordability, high quality, and essential features. We have also launched two demo websites (for Setouchi Green Fields Inc.) showcasing the two available design themes.
ST Base is a flexible and easy-to-use website creation service designed for a wide range of users, from sole proprietors to mid-sized businesses and organizations. With a focus on simplicity, convenience, and adaptability, it offers a feature-rich yet user-friendly experience that can be customized to fit various industries.
Two Themes and Demo Sites: ST Base Top and ST Base Side
ST Base offers two themes: ST Base Top and ST Base Side. The difference lies in the positioning of the global menu when the browser width exceeds 1200px (viewed on larger tablets or PCs). In one theme, the menu is laid out at the top of the page, while in the other, it is positioned on the left side. Please explore the demo sites for both themes.
