Funnelback and The Hiser Group Announce Reseller Agreement

User centred design meets search

Canberra ACT (PRWeb) April 3, 2007 -- Funnelback Pty Ltd has announced a new reseller agreement with Sydney based usability and user-centred design firm, The Hiser Group.

The addition of The Hiser Group as a Funnelback reseller will give Hiser's new and existing clients the opportunity to add world class Internet and enterprise search tools to their websites.

"Hiser's experience in web interface design makes them an ideal partner for Funnelback; especially given the important part that high quality search plays in interface design in both complimenting navigation and as a navigation fail-safe. This new agreement widens the availability of our web and behind the firewall, tunable search technologies" said Funnelback General Manager, Stuart Beil.

Funnelback's user-friendly search forms and AA accessibility rating make it an easy search solution for The Hiser Group to integrate with its own user-centred design objectives.

David Such, Managing Director of The Hiser Group said "Research has shown that most users will move on to another site if they don't find what they are looking for within 3 clicks. Consequently, Funnelback's search capability is a fantastic complement to our design services."
