NatureMaker Launches New Web Site
The art and design of their trees is now better represented with a modern and creative website design.
May 19, 2008
CARLSBAD, CA-The newly designed website of NatureMaker "Steel Art Trees" went live this month to help update the look and feel of the company's arboreal creations. The website can be found at http://www.naturemaker.com.
"Our online visitors will now experience a more vibrant and interactive view of the products we create by hand," says Gary Hanick, President of NatureMaker. "It was important that the look and design of the website show a creative approach to displaying our products."
In addition to company information, history and news, there is an extensive portfolio of NatureMaker products that can be viewed with an innovative image gallery technology. With a click of the mouse, users can zoom up multiple images from the gallery and spread them around like playing cards to arrange them for side by side viewing. As there is currently no Adobe Flash code on the site, it can be viewed in its entirety on media devices such as the Apple iPhone.
There is an extensive online quotation form for getting more specific bids on projects. The new "News" page has a novel interface for looking at recent NatureMaker installations. Almost every image on the new website is interactive in some way.
