To improve site navigation and offer visitors enhanced product information, Hobart Welding Products last week launched a redesign of its website, HobartWelders.com. Among the new features is an easy-to-use navigation menu with process-specific icons that direct visitors to welding, cutting and accessory product pages. The redesign also enables viewing on-screen resolutions of 1024 x 768, presenting more information with less scrolling.
“Welding is becoming more accessible and user-friendly, to individuals with home shops, farmers and those who weld for a living or as a hobby,” said Caleb Krisher, product manager with Hobart Welding Products. “The new design of HobartWelders.com aims to mirror these same advancements online and provide easier access to product and process information.”
Hobart’s website offers a collection of downloadable tips and guides designed to help users hone their welding skills and technique. By visiting the E-Learning section, Welding 101 literature can be downloaded for the following categories:
• MIG Welding
• Aluminum MIG Welding
• Self-Shielded Flux Cored Welding
• TIG Welding
• Stick Welding
• Plasma Welding
• Resistance Spot Welding
Weld Talk, Hobart’s online user forum, was redesigned to improve speed and access for its members. Forums of interest were organized under a new set of categories covering: Office, Equipment Talk, Application Talk, Welding Projects, Conversations by the Community, Classified Ads and a Weld Talk Topic Archive. The site has improved search capabilities and several new tools to enhance interaction among members.
Hobart Welding Products is a division of Hobart Brothers Co., Troy, Ohio, a wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois Tool Works Inc. The company offers a complete line of industrial-grade Stick, MIG, TIG and spot welders, plasma cutters and generator/welding power sources.
