Ring in New Year with new site

We at Cutting Tool Engineering celebrated the New Year by unveiling a major overhaul to the design and functionality of our website, ctemag.com.

Sporting a bright new design with larger text and images, ctemag.com is not only easier on the eyes, it’s also easier on the fingers thanks to new navigation and search functionality. In short, finding the information visitors want will take fewer clicks than ever.

Nearly a year in the making, the overhaul integrates related subject matter throughout the website so visitors can conduct exhaustive content searches without exhausting themselves. By emphasizing search by topical category rather than content type—such as feature articles, product news, industry headlines or video reports—ctemag.com builds on the strength of the old website, namely the ShortCUTS Search.

The old ShortCUTS option only displayed related subject matter from two content types: feature articles and product news. We’ve bolstered the ShortCUTS Search so it now generates a single search-results page, displaying related subject matter from five content types: industry headlines, product news, feature articles, video reports and our Buyers Guide. We also moved ShortCUTS to the main navigation area of the website.
