We have included more content and more pages than the old site. We have also established a new design for the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are looking forward to moving onto the next step which is an online sign rental system. This is where you can rent various signs online. We are planning on having a couple thousand signs for rent at any time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;New Features&lt;/h3&gt;New features for the site include Google maps on the contact us page, you can now find us easily. We have also added a page to enable you to request services. You can also easily upload pages to our site by using the new "Upload Files" page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have added 2 blogs to the site: one for the company, which is the one you are reading now. and one for signage techniques which we feel would be useful to others working in the same field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to email us and let us know what you think.</description><link>http://www.collins-signs.com/blogs/company/2007/11/new-website-for-collins-signs.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Zach Zurn)</author></item></channel></rss>
