?The Ford website ? www.ford.com.au ? is one of the most popular* automotive sites among Australian World Wide Web users and this redevelopment puts Ford at the cutting edge of internet technology,? Ford Australia Marketing and Sales Vice President Bruce McDonald said.
?The Ford Australia website has been upgraded to provide a user friendly environment perfectly suited to meeting the needs of customers of all ages.?
The key areas of change on the site include:
Ford Australia Integrated Marketing Operations Manager Kathy Battle said Ford employed the services of leading web designers ? the Web Development Group (WDG) ? to redesign the site.
?The redesign of the website puts Ford Australia at the forefront of Internet technology,? said Ms Battle.
?WDG worked closely with Ford Australia in applying user-centred design principles to create a site focused on meeting the needs of both the business and the consumer. Our objective was to ensure the user experience is both intuitive and informative, and facilitates the consumer vehicle research process.?
