We’ve recently completed a major redesign of the powertransmission. com website.
I know what you’re thinking. Big deal, right? Websites are redesigned every day. It’s not really news. You’re right, of course. We’re in the news business, and when companies send us press releases about their newly redesigned websites, our first instinct as editors is to respond the same way. So what. Big deal. Moving on.
So why am I making a big deal about our own redesign? Well, for starters, it’s not so much about the look and feel of the website – although, believe me, those are vastly improved. It’s more about the information, how it’s organized and how you can access it. And since our job is to give you the best possible information on mechanical power transmission components and motion control, I figure it’s part of my job to tell you about the best ways to get that information.
Over the past eight years, we’ve accumulated some really good content in PTE, and although we like to believe that all of you read the magazine religiously, we acknowledge that some of you might have missed an issue or two along the way. But fear not. One of the ways we’ve tried to help you find this valuable past information is through the new focused content areas on our home page. Each month, we’ll highlight some specific subjects where we think the archives contain valuable articles. Right now, if you go to the site, you’ll see “Bearings” and “Motors” as our featured topics on the home page. Under those headings you’ll see a small selection of relevant articles, as well as links to even more.
Of course, you could simply type “Bearings” or “Motors” into the search box on any page, and you’d get to the same articles. Or maybe you’re interested in “Linear Motion” or “Efficiency.” Just type what you’re looking for into the search box.
