AgraQuest, Inc. Launches Enhanced Web Site
DAVIS, Calif. (August 2, 2007) – AgraQuest, Inc., a leading provider of effective and safe pest management and plant health products, announced today that it has launched an updated and enhanced version of its web site – www.agraquest.com – aimed at improving usability and providing easy access to vital information.
"The new site is really a product of customer feedback," said Chris Coombs, Vice President of North American Sales & Marketing for AgraQuest. "We have made it easier for growers and distributors to access the information they want and need for AgraQuest products."
Providing product information and detail on the company itself, the new site boasts an intuitive and cutting-edge design. ADA compliant and accessible on wireless portable devices, the site is available in almost any circumstance.
"We've eliminated slow-loading graphics while still maintaining a visually compelling site,"said Marketing Manager Nevada Smith. "We know that a lot of growers are on dial-up connections and don't have time to wait for the information they need. If a grower is out in the field and wants to check compatibility before applying our products, all they need is a cell phone with Internet access; there's no need to go back to the office."
New to the site is product information broken down by crop. These crop pages allow growers to quickly find product solutions to their specific crop rather than searching through long lists of product labels.
"We are taking the next step in integrating technology into our industry," said Smith. "As the distribution of information changes, we want to be sure that AgraQuest continues to be an innovator."
