DENVE - Wednesday, January 22nd 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE )-- Johns Manville (JM), a Berkshire Hathaway company and global
building and specialty products manufacturer, today announced that it
has launched a redesigned corporate website that consolidates the
multiple websites it previously used to present information to the
public and its customers. The updated, solution-driven website,
available at www.jm.com, utilizes responsive design for more
adaptability with tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices.
Historically,
users could obtain JM information via a number of websites, including
www.jm.com, www.jmeurope.com, www.specjm.com and www.jmhomeowner.com.
The various websites were designed to meet the unique needs of specific
audiences, including contractors, manufacturers, building professionals,
homeowners, and prospective employees. With the updated website, users
receive an improved brand experience while continuing to easily access
the information they need. The consolidated website provides a better
opportunity to see the breadth of JM’s product offerings, and allows
users to quickly access information using a variety of devices.
The
redesigned website is available in English. Content is currently being
translated and in the coming weeks, sections will be available in
Canadian French, Chinese, German, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish for the
convenience of the company’s global customers and other interested
parties.
“We undertook this significant effort to support the
growing needs of our diverse customer base,” said Mary Rhinehart, JM
president and CEO. “With additional language capabilities, clear
navigation, and easier access from mobile devices, this is a
solution-driven website that delivers an outstanding user experience.”
Chief
Information Officer John Shellenberger said the entire JM organization
is excited for customers and the public to visit the redesigned website.
“Our
new website captures JM’s true character and conveys the things that
are important to us, like integrity, dependability, product expertise,
and customer relationships,” said Shellenberger. “Plus, it caters to all
of our audiences through one streamlined website. We think users will
be pleased with the content, the look and feel, and the ease of use.”
JM
worked with gyro, a global leader in business-to-business marketing and
advertising, to design and develop the updated site. Crown Partners, a
systems integration software and consulting company, also worked with JM
to ensure that a modern, robust content management system was at the
heart of the redesigned website.
“Our vendors, gyro and Crown
Partners, were invaluable to this process, and we’d like to thank them
for their dedication to the project,” said Shellenberger.
