With the web often being the first point-of-contact for potential customers these days, protective coatings manufacturer Shieldcoat has recently given their site (www.shieldcoat.com.au) a slick new facelift.

Simplification of the site was one of the aims of the revamp with their stable of protective coating products now numbering in excess of thirty. For each product there is downloadable information, application and safety data sheets for ease of use. For most products there is also a series of step-by-step photographs to further aid in the application process.

An additional feature of the site is the new "Applicators" and "Distributors" sections. Both tradesmen and end-users are able to quickly and easily select from a map of Australia the area they are in and from here select a suitable contact.

The ability to purchase online has been retained but instead of having to go to a specific online store section of the site, once users have logged in they can add goods to their online 'trolley' from the products own information page.

Further updates of the site are planned for later this year.
