Press Release May 2010: Bookspeed Launches New Website
A new website has been launched by Bookspeed to promote the range of services they offer. Director of Sales, Fiona Stout said,
“We are very excited about this development. We’ve worked with local web designers Ink-Tank to build a site that reflects our services. The site is full of bright vibrant images and features news and new developments. Because we have a rapidly expanding customer base we wanted an efficient way of keeping our customers informed of new titles or ranges of books about which we were particularly excited. Using RSS feeds this site will enable our customers to key into our expertise when and how they like. We hope it will be interesting and informative and full of energy and good ideas to help our customers make more sales.”
The design is crisp, clear and easy to navigate with lots of frequently updated features and RSS feed that will allow subscribers to stay abreast of new content.
