DesignHub Creates Web Site for Hardwood Solutions, Inc.

SALINE, MI – DesignHub, Inc., a creative services and marketing firm headquartered in Saline, has designed a new Web site for Hardwood Solutions, Inc. of Chelsea, MI.

The site, www.hardwoodsolutions.com, tells how Hardwood Solutions serves clients in millwork manufacturing with outsourced hardwood rough-mill operations and consulting in hardwood management programs. The company’s specialties include hardwood cost and margin analysis, material and process strategy development, raw material procurement, material processing, and customized inventory and administration systems.

In the site’s password-protected “Information Center,” clients can check the status of their current hardwood programs and review the schedule of upcoming programs.

Hardwood Solutions’ goal with the new site is to provide clients with a fully functional, perpetual database of their hardwood activities by Spring 2006. At that time, clients will be able to access the site’s “Information Center” for up-to-date reports on their hardwood usage patterns, cost trends, inventory levels, and online order submissions.

Another password-protected area of the site, called “Management Forum,” offers a collection of hardwood industry articles, research studies, and management tools compiled by Hardwood Solutions for the benefit of its clients.
