22 ExtroNews 12.1 January/February 2001
Extron has completely revamped www.extron.com to
provide the most user-friendly access to product
information and technology resources. You’ve given us
a lot of feedback about what you wanted from our
Web site, and we’ve responded.
New Level of Support
For each product category, if you have questions
about how to choose the product that’s right for your
specific application, Extron offers a step-by-step selection
process for you to click through. (See
Image 1.)
For each product, the overview page immediately
provides you with its part number as well as tabs for
what’s available: description, feature list, full
specifications, application diagram, and panel drawing.
(See
Image 2.) Each panel drawing is also offered in a
Flash version, for close-ups, zoom-outs, and panning
using click-and-drag, so you can examine each product
in as much detail as you need. And the product
information is available in a print-friendly version for
perfectly formatted print-outs.
Available support materials are listed at the bottom
of each product overview page—from brochure to full
specifications to user manual. Once you’ve arrived at a
product’s page, you have instant access to all relevant
information and materials.
New Functionality
The new interface has been designed to be more
efficient AND user-friendly. It operates faster, features
improved navigation, and includes better search
options—it’s easier to find what you’re looking for.
From the home page or any product page, get to any
product with one click of the mouse.
We’ve also made the Download Center more
efficient to use. It offers a variety of materials to
support Extron products—from control software to user
manuals to full specifications. You can search for what
you need using either product name or product
category.
With our improved search engine, you now have
three approaches for finding the product information
you need:
1. Product-based: If you already know which
product you want more information on, type in
the name of the product (e.g., SGS 408).
2. Application-based: If you don’t know which
product you need, type in the name of the
application you need the product for (e.g.,
videoconferencing).
3. Technology-based: If you want to know what
products we offer that use a specific technology,
type in the name of the technology you’re
interested in (e.g., CAT 5).
New Look
We’ve given www.extron.com a facelift. It’s got a
clean, streamlined look so products and resources are
easy to spot.
