febi bilstein optimises its web presence

febi bilstein has revised its international online presence using the enterprise content management software FirstSpirit™. The new website is immediately available on www.febi.com with a fresh appearance and new content structure. Although initially available in only German and English, the new website will be online in 10 languages by the end of July.

The main areas of the new website www.febi.com are news, products, febi world and jobs. These main areas directly address the needs of various target audiences – i.e. garages, partners, interested parties and job candidates. An integrated product catalogue provides access to approximately 20,000 febi products. The extensive product area is subdivided by Car Division, Truck Division and Industrial Technology. Here you can order and download product catalogues as well as the febi Tip and febi compact publications.

febi targets garages and service staff with the febi world area of the website. The garage calendar, which is famous in the industry and was published with a circulation of 22,000 copies in 2008, together with the various desktop backgrounds and a screensaver present febi’s less technical side: Skilfully presented models in the corporate colours of red and black provide some distraction in the everyday garage business.

Informative articles and dates of trade exhibitions can be found in the news section: An archive enabling access to press releases and news from 2001 to the present day and a trade exhibition calendar with current dates and events provide an overview of the most recent developments at febi bilstein.

Likewise, the company section of the new febi website is comprehensive and informative. Besides company facts and figures, an overview of febi’s locations, a restricted access press area and the febi corporate film are all to be found here. A password restricted extranet area for partners and employees round off the website.

A full text search for the whole website www.febi.com and a “quick finder” for spare parts appear on every page and are therefore easily accessible.

The technical foundations for the new website were developed with content-management-software provided by e-Sprit AG in Dortmund: The content management system FirstSpirit™ 4.0 facilitates not only a publication in 10 languages, but also the straightforward integration of existing content.
