New Glen Raven Site Launched!

October 2003

Beacon Technologies announces the launch of the newly designed Glen Raven web site (www.glenraven.com). Founded in 1880, Glen Raven is most recognized for its flagship brands, Sunbrella and Dickson, global leaders in performance-rich outdoor fabrics, particularly for commercial and residential awnings, marine covers, convertible car tops, casual furniture, and market umbrellas. The company is also the leading supplier of fabric for flags in the United States, and continues to develop innovative approaches to appearance and longevity. In fact, the first flag planted on the moon in 1969 was made of Glen Raven fabric!

Beacon’s Design Team focused on upgrading the Glen Raven site to a more clean, professional, and global appearance with improved navigation. Led by Dr. Margery Kiehn, Beacon’s Director of Usability, it was also important for the site to not only present its product lines more concisely, but also easily support the evolution of Glen Raven’s business, without constant redesigns.
