A new Beocentral

13th June 2010

Today we’ve launched a redesigned version of Beocentral. There are many improvements, here are some of the most important ones. We hope you enjoy what we’ve done.

New graphic design

Beocentral has a new, clean style which takes advantage of large monitors but works well with mobile browsers too. It looks great on an iPhone and even better on an iPad.

Easy to browse and discover

Improvements to the Reference Section give a better overview of B&O’s product range, making it easier to casually browse through the site and discover products you didn’t know about.

Better organised

The structure of the site has been improved, giving better access to the Workshop Notebook and Beomic sections. There are fewer categories in the Reference Section – all products are still included, but now you’ll find them in more logical places.

Better search – on every page

Beocentral’s search page has been completely redesigned. Results include a snippet of text containing the term you searched for to help you see its context. Pictures are included too, where available. You’ll find a search box at the top right of every page, just type what you’re looking for and press Enter to see the results.

Online index of our book

The search page includes an index of our book, Bang & Olufsen. Now you can find what you’re looking for on the site, then read about it in the book straight afterwards.

More information: Glossary

Our glossary is a new section containing definitions of B&O-related terms.

Beautiful colour charts

Bang & Olufsen change the colours and finishes of their range throughout the years. Beocentral now shows you which colours a product was available in throughout its lifetime.

Better page names

Beocentral’s new page names are based on the full product name. With no obscure product to guess it’s much easier to find what you want. For example, the Beogram 4000 page used to be www.beocentral.com/products/bg4000, now it’s just beocentral.com/beogram4000. We’ve also shortened the site’s address by dropping the www: now we’re simply beocentral.com.

More pictures, new pictures

Beocentral is renowned the quality of its pictures, the best of any historic B&O site. We’ve improved further by re-photographing some items and adding more pictures showing different views.
