Intersoft Web site evolves

Johannesburg, 07 Dec 2005

Intersoft, Southern Africa`s leading supplier of computer and trade books, has revamped its Web site to reflect the company`s ongoing evolution.

Intersoft now has a database of books that has grown substantially from 1 800 titles to over 48 000 titles! Although Intersoft`s core focus remains firmly on technical titles for all skill levels that meet the needs of IT professionals, the expanded range includes subjects closely related to computing, like telecommunications, engineering, business, management and academic titles. There is even a selection of health and reference titles to choose from.

The advanced site is much faster to access, despite its expanded range, because every aspect of the Web site is managed with the latest Quest Communications` qPortal Content Management System. Moreover, Intersoft is using MWeb`s well-known "Safe Shop" payment gateway, which is a safe, reliable method of payment and is used by many South African portals.

What does this mean for the customer? For starters, the checkout process is much easier and decidedly user-friendly. You now have the option to purchase a book without having to log in or register. This speeds things up considerably - you can quickly get in and out the site without any hassle. How do you know that the book you want to buy is the book that will meet your needs? This next-generation Web site strives to offer a wealth of information about each book. You can browse through a synopsis of the book and peruse the table of contents.

Next year, Intersoft hopes that many titles will have the option to read the back cover text, about the author, and even see sample pages. It`s almost like browsing in a bookstore. In other words, Intersoft has enhanced the catalogue to make your browsing experience quicker and more intuitive; the site itself is updated constantly, with new titles being added weekly.

Intersoft will also soon be starting an exciting program of features and promotional events. The features will reflect the latest market and technology developments and releases, list best sellers by area of interest and present sensational seasonal special offers.

That`s not all. Clients with common interests, for example open source, database, programming etc will soon find appealing activities to engage in. Aside from Book of the Month features and innovative and exciting competitions, there will also be fabulous interactive elements. For example, you`ll be able to put a book on your wish list and get a reminder about it closer to payday. If you see a title you know a friend would be interested in, you`ll be able to recommend it. If you spend over R400, you can enjoy free delivery wherever you are in SA, otherwise there is a nominal shipping fee of R29.

This comes just in time for the Christmas rush...and remember, if you want to send a hint to your partner about the book you`d like for Christmas, send a mail to Intersoft and they`ll do that for you too.
