MONTREAL, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AS Hanging Systems, announces the completion and availability of their re-architected web site, www.ASHanging.com, to serve as the ideal reference for all things “hanging systems”. The formulation of this new web interface, more than a year in planning and development, offers many features, tools and information not available on any other web site addressing the “hanging system” market. “While we have had a web site for 6 years, our prior site, located at the same web address, was showing its age. While we frequently updated this site with new products and other announcements, it didn’t allow us to communicate our wealth of knowledge to site visitors, channel partners and prospective customers,” said Walter Moncade, President of AS Hanging Systems. “The Internet is a very important marketing and educational communications tool as well as our primary point of commerce. This new web site is completely new, from the ground, up. The changes comprise so much more than simply new graphic design and layout. The site is robust and very deeply enhanced with accumulations of our knowledge – and having been in this space for over 20 years we have learned much. The site allows us the facility by which we may structure that knowledge and project it back out into the marketplace. It allows us to demonstrate the leadership role that we have assumed over the last several years.” New Site Features * Online Ordering of a Comprehensive Sample Kit – Kit includes an ample selection of hanging rails, color swatches, hooks, rods and cables.(www.ashanging.com/en/sample-kit) * Continuing Education – This aspect of the site is truly unique. Architects and Designers may link to a free online course, and subsequent exam, that may earn them continuing education credits toward maintaining their professional credentials. This course is certified by AIA, CSI, ASID, IIDA, IDC and other agencies, 23 in total. However, the visiting public also has access to the same library of information that is not available elsewhere. (www.ashanging.com/en/continuing-education) * Downloading Documents – The site offers easy access downloads to many common reference documents such as art rail installation guides, weight guides, catalog, etc. * CSI Specs – The site also offers a pathway for architects to download 3-Part CSI Formatted Specs that may be used and included into their own project or master specifications. * FAQs – A thorough exploration of common questions. The questions are all visible in a compact list and a simple click on any one question, revels the reply to that single topic. This overcomes the common weaknesses with other FAQ architectures, where huge continuous pages run on for what seems to be eternity, making it nearly impossible to locate that one bit of information in which you are interested. (www.ashanging.com/en/faq) * Applications – The site features a discussion on the wide variety of uses in which the company’s product have been used. This is important because many persons view these product lines merely as art hanging systems. (www.ashanging.com/en/applications) * Gallery – The visitor may explore eight main gallery photo collections of actual installations. These include all sorts of applications such as distracting/calming walls in a dental office, food-services menu presentation, public notice boards, and gallery rod displays (also commonly referred to as “French Rod” display, etc.) (www.ashanging.com/en/gallery) * Multi-Lingual and Multi-Currency – The entire site is available in both French and English and ecommerce functions are available in both US and Canadian currency. * Product Documentation – Each product is supported by its own dedicated web page, which also houses such supporting elements as product item images, tear sheets, technical specs and capacities, price information, and compatible product references. The above is not an exhaustive list but does speak to the major site enhancements.
