As the customer spends a reasonable time on a website looking for information he / she wants. It won’t be incorrect to treat it akin to a showroom where actual sales happen. Therefore a website for a company like ours needs to deliver an equally good experience. Hence it became important to revisit the old website and add value in terms of content, look and feel and other stuff which would deliver the desired experience.”
