This is our new website design, which you kinda know already, as you ARE on the new website.

Onboardmag.com has undergone as massive overhaul, and now features category-based browsing, a 21st century like appearance, bigger and better photo viewing, and it is optimised to be viewed on your phone.

Our old layout was basically a blog-like stream of posts. We have changed that. From now on you can see on our home page little category sections like videos, news and galleries, which mean you can see the latest posts from each of these sections without leaving the home page.

Also, the site now displays like a charm on your phone, tablet, or good old desktop computer. In recent times we’ve seen a massive increase in visitors from mobile devices, and this should help improve their experience on onboardmag.com.

Another big change concerns photos. We now have an all-new gallery viewer, which offers a full-screen mode. Check it out here! Never has viewing snowboard photography online been such a pleasant experience. It’s almost like reading a print mag! Keep your eyes peeled for new galleries over the next few weeks!

You might have also noticed that the other day the video player has been revamped. It looks now totally different, loads a lot faster, has a slo-mo button and a 3-second rewind button, which will make watching a specific trick over and over again a lot easier. It also has a built-in Share-button, which is great to keep the entire online world up to date.

So, this is it. We are still giving the site its finishing touches (we’re working on the missing thumbnails), and adding more features in the weeks to come. We’d like to know what you think about these changes, so please leave your comments below – good or bad, we don’t mind at all, we’d just appreciate your feedback.

Enjoy the new site & ride on

Your Onboard Crew

Artec’s all-new website for 2011 is ready for you to get balls deep in. Check out what it’s all about…

First thing you’ll notice when you head over to www.artecsnowboards.com is the dope look
and feel, supported by a stripped-back layout that keeps the focus on what’s really
important.

Minimal in graphics and right on the money in terms of style, the new site mirrors the avant-
garde positioning of this uber-progressive snowboard and lifestyle brand.

In addition to showcasing the new 2010/11 line of snowboards, binding and accessories, the
site also sheds plenty of light on some of the next-level technology responsible for making
Artec Snowboards one of the industry’s most innovative players.

If you’ve ever dreamed about riding a top-of-the-range board with your very own custom top
sheet graphic, then dip your toe into Artec Blueprint – a creative online system that spits out
customized boards by allowing you to upload your own top sheet graphics to our state-of-
the-art factory located in the heart of the Austrian Alps.

And for a 100% team-driven brand like Artec, it’ll come as no surprise to discover that the new
site features expanded team rider profiles for all our Global Pro and AM team riders – there’s
no better place to get the lowdown on the likes of Gabe Taylor, Nima Jalali, Gus Engle and
Johnny Miller.

And if gossip and team rider musings is your thing, don’t forget to hit up the blog section. Did
you hear new Global team recruit Kalle Ohlson recently dropped some cash on a new crib?
Wanna see what he got for his money up in Sweden? Just hit up the integrated blog right
now. Use your Facebook login to post comments in the blog section and get interactive with
our riders.

For all that and a bunch of other good stuff: www.artecsnowboards.com
