We launched an update to our website in the early hours of Saturday morning. It’s dubbed “version 3″ and the changes are quite significant.
The main things you will notice are:
- The website design has improved. It’s a lot neater, it isn’t as wide as before and it works in much better proportion with different screen resolutions.
- The country flags on the top right. Yes, we’ve started showing different content to different countries based on IP delivery and the user’s preference. The countries currently supported are Ireland, UK, US and France.
This allows us to show local currency pricing, local phone numbers and other details relevant to each country on the website. For example, you can see how www.spiralhosting.ie/contact has our Irish phone number and www.spiralhosting.com/uk/contact has our UK phone number. Localized content only shows on some pages at the moment, but the infrastructure is now there for us to fully roll it out. - We now have a multi language website. The first language we’ve added is French (www.spiralhosting.fr). A sizeable amount of our customers speak French, and we also hope more will join us!
- We now support multiple currencies. You can purchase in Euros, Pounds or Dollars depending upon your preference. Prices in Pounds and Dollars are updated daily on our website based on our base currency (Euros) so we always offer the best price.
- We have added new products such as GlobalSign SSL certificates and .fr domain names.
- We’ve also updated the templates on our Client Area, Company Blog and Status Blog to reflect the new design.
Version 3 is a big improvement but it’s only the first step. We have more updates planned shortly as we add more languages, currencies, products and features.
We want to say a big thank you to our web designer Clément for all the work he has put into it. Great job!
