HIGH POINT — Furniture/Today has overhauled its Web site, offering readers a more interactive environment and richer content and advertisers a better marketing vehicle.
Several new features are on the home page at www.furnituretoday.com, which also uses updated technology for searches and navigation.
“The investment that our parent company, Reed Business Information, has made to enhance our already powerful Web site will pay dividends for our readers by allowing them to access even more news and information than ever before,” said Ray Allegrezza, Furniture/Today's editor-in-chief.
“Since debuting the industry's first electronic daily news dispatch in 2000 with our e-Daily, we've constantly looked for better ways to give our audience enhanced content on demand, and our redesigned Web site marks another major step in that direction,” Allegrezza said.
