PCB Manufacturer to Provide Increased Functionality via the Web

AURORA, Colo., - (April 11, 2005) - Advanced Circuits, the only quick-turn printed circuit board manufacturer with real-time customer service, today unveiled the company’s revised Web site, designed to provide valuable industry information while simplifying the PCB order process.

The redesigned Web site, which is a direct result of customer feedback and employee suggestions, includes a significant expansion of the “My4PCB” page, a personalized online service center for customers. My4PCB now provides a complete order history, allowing customers to search, view and print current and past order details such as:

· Hold notices,
· Certificates,
· Invoices, and
· Packing lists.

“By providing a complete history, customers can quickly reorder boards created months ago,” said John Yacoub, president of Advanced Circuits. “Engineers may have used FreeDFM last month to check a design; now, they can look at the original quote and order it today. The advanced search options will make accessing and retrieving historical information even more convenient.”

After tracking how customers use the website, Advanced Circuits also decided to update the navigation. The most frequently visited pages have been brought to the front, making information easier to find and saving visitors time.

“We continually aim to bring more value to our customers and make ordering printed circuit boards painless,” said Yacoub. “The improvements to our website will provide customers with easy access to the information they need to make informed decisions.”

Additional enhancements to the site include a shorter registration form and a sample quote feature. The ‘Just for Fun’ section, a customer favorite, has also been expanded to include crossword puzzles, word searches, a PCB IQ test, jokes and riddles.
