LANCASTER, PA (January 12, 2009) –
High Steel Structures Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a new website that offers visitors improved navigation and enhanced content. The website URL is www.highsteel.com.
High Steel incorporated customer feedback into the redesign of the website. Visitors will notice a contemporary look, easier page navigation, defined sections for bridge and building fabrication and a more technical focus, among other changes.
"The ready availability of technical information on the High Steel website reflects our commitment to excellence and leadership," reported Ronnie Medlock, P.E., Vice President of Technical Services. "Sharing our knowledge about constructability and erection improves projects while advancing the state-of-the-art in steel bridges."
High Steel’s first website debuted back in 2002, when few steel fabricators had an Internet presence. In the six years since the original site was launched, the evolution of new web-based technology and increasing customer demand for online information called for an upgrade.
"It’s not enough anymore just to have a presence on the web," says Steve Bussanmas, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Now, almost every company has a website. The standards have gotten much higher, so we started from scratch and built an entirely new site."
Notable features on the newly updated website include:
Designer’s Tools - useful forms that design consultants may use to request project pricing and shipping information.
Technical Resources - with a library of steel design information, industry links and frequently asked questions about economical steel fabrication.
Project Gallery - expanded and separated into sections for bridge, building and industrial, steel erection, and emergency replacement projects.
Spotlight and News - to keep visitors abreast of the latest happenings.
A free service, the Project Pricing and Shipping Advisor tools have been in place on High Steel’s website since 2002, and many design consultants and project owners have utilized this convenient method to request steel fabrication information during a project’s design phase. The new versions of the tools include a separate project pricing form for building and industrial projects, a growing portion of the company’s business.
High Steel has recently seen an increase in the number of inquiries, especially about shipping issues.
"It appears more and more Departments of Transportation are asking their consultants to verify that the girders on their design can make it to the job site," commented Tom Wandzilak, High Steel Business Development Manager, explaining that having these tools on our website helps to simplify and expedite the exchange of information.
As Bussanmas notes, "Our goal is to provide easy 24-hour online access to information about our products and services. The new layout and added features on our site make it easier for customers to contact us and get the information they require on our services. We want High Steel to be the industry’s preferred partner for fabricated structural steel."
