Clove Technology Unveil New Website

Clove Technology have today unveiled a new website. The online mobile technology specialist has replaced the previous site with new and very bold design.

The site retains most of the features of the last site, but has undergone a lot of graphic changes and the underlying engine that powers the retailers page has been improved to enable many more advanced features to be constructed and unveiled over the coming months.

New headline features of the website include a vastly improved on site search engine, a product comparison tool, new checkout process, enhanced customer account features, social network integration and a product rating system.

Chris Love, Managing Director of Clove commented, “We have today unveiled a new website that is the result of lots of hard work over the last few months. We are excited about the new site and the possibilities that it brings us and our customers. The website brings new features to users, but also brings a whole host of advancements in the background which enables us to further roll out some updates over the coming months, to further enhance the functionality of the website.”

The revised design of www.clove.co.uk ties in with the brand refresh that was announced today and will be apparent through all future communications and publications and forms part of Clove’s intention to provide a more consistent and stronger marketing message.
