The new site features a sleek modern design and simple navigation system which makes searching for a dealer or learning more about the company's products easier and more intuitive. After thorough- ly researching the needs of customers, dealers, installers and other end users, the site now features the most up-to-date technology, and is compatible for use on mobile devices, said Chris Klem, director, marketing communications. Visitors can more easily look up and compare specific products, and new- ly added features like the garage door opener selector tool, which greatly en- hance the user experience. It is also now easier than ever for customers to find a dealer with the Dealer Locator, as well as access de- tailed product information and videos. The Technical Support section has also been updated to provide more ef- ficient and customer-friendly service, he said. Our goal was to create a rede- signed web site that would provide our customers with an easy-to-use on- line resource with improved structure and functionality. Klem added. We have listened to our customers, and we are confident that the site's many enhancements will make for a more engaging user experience.
