CONSHOHOCKEN, PA,
March 9, 2000 -- Paratherm Corporation, a manufacturer
of non-toxic, environmentally friendly heat transfer fluids,
has one of the 10 best-designed Web sites among mid-market
manufacturers, according to a nationwide study and awards
program conducted by RSM McGladrey, Inc.
RSM McGladrey is one of the largest accounting, tax and
business consulting firms in the United States, and is a
recognized authority on Web site design, presentation and
usage. McGladrey recently conducted the Outstanding Web
Sites Mid-Market Businesses Study to identify industry Web
sites which reflect excellence in content, technique, and
execution. The goal of the study and corresponding awards
program is to promote the effective use of Web technologies
among various industries, including manufacturing. The study
and awards program were co-sponsored by AT&T and the
National Association of Manufacturers.
For the first annual Outstanding Mid-Market "Manufacturing"
Web Site Awards, judges reviewed the web sites of nearly
1,000 manufacturers. In judging the Web sites, they
evaluated how well the sites meet criteria in five major
categories considered crucial to developing and maintaining
an outstanding presence on the Web. The categories are
information, customer service, design and layout, quality,
and connectivity.
Paratherm's Web site www.paratherm.com
successfully meets the study's criteria, in part, by
ensuring easy accessibility and convenience for the user,
including such areas as download time. The Web site judges
deemed the information provided on Paratherm's Web pages as
timely, accurate and substantial in the quality of its
content.
"We designed our Web site to be more than an on-line product
catalog," says John Fuhr, president of Paratherm. "It's a
major source of information about the overall capabilities
of heat transfer fluids, their safe use with thermal fluid
systems, and their ability to meet manufacturing and other
processing needs in a world that's becoming increasingly
conscious of safeguarding the environment for future
generations."
Paratherm's Web site includes comprehensive product
specifications, technical data comparing Paratherm's heat
transfer fluids to competitive products, user benefits,
safety and maintenance tips, company news and case
histories, company history and other information. The Web
site's design allows for seamless navigation to any desired
point of reference. Interactive tools are also available to
the user, and purchases of heat transfer fluid can be made
immediately on-line.
