NEW YORK, Feb. 21 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- AstroExpo today announced a major facelift for its Space Industry Virtual Exhibit Hall. Among the list of enhancements and changes are:
* Improved Usability:
-- A more intuitive organization has been implemented across the entire site
-- Smooth navigational flyout menus that allow the user to go deeper in the site without cluttering up the page
-- The inclusion of global utilities (Global Search, Sitemap, Login, Join) make for an easier-to-use, more valuable research tool
* Non-framed site layout:
-- Realizing that there are problems with framed structures due to search engine meta-indexing and bookmarking of interior pages, AstroExpo has broken loose from the previously framed design
* Improved design:
-- A cleaner, easier to understand look with improved color/font palette and increased legibility achieved through extensive use of stylesheets and industry standard design techniques
"With the recent addition of Jonathan Lupo, our Information Architect, we have brought AstroExpo to a higher standard of usability and organization," said Samuel Liebowitz, CEO, AstroWorks, Inc. "This, combined with the recent marketing alliances with Space News (Space.com), and SpaceDaily.com, makes AstroExpo the premier place for space industry companies to promote themselves by detailing exactly the products and services they can provide to the industry."
