25 years Axel Gerstl: A company through the ages When the company axel Gerstl was founded in 1988, not too many drivers of a Fiat 500, Fiat 126 or Fiat 600 knew the word “Internet”. Until the early 90s it was just a networking of universities and research facilities from the Advanced Research Project Agency-Program of the US-Department of Defense. Ordering spare parts was done via letter, FAX or telephone and item numbers and prices were taken from the periodical spare parts catalog. With the launch of Windows95 and Windows98, more and more people hat their own internet-pc, so the company Axel Gerstl started their homepage in 2000. At that time, everything was more hands-on looking; the online presence of the “New Economy” was mostly improvised and limited to the technical capabilities. And not everybody had the patience to wait for minutes to see complex graphics or applications. Only one year later, the first update made everything more colorful and more (Gerstl-) blue. But still a very pragmatic design. In 2004 the next redesign was launched and the style of the webpage was more or less settled: The Axel-Gerstl-Header on top is unchanged since then, the Gerstl-blue got a bit darker and the info boxes on the right were not yet there. The next big step was done in 2009: The design is fully developed, everything is well-arranged and customers find their product with just a few clicks. Besides that, there is valuable information about maintenance and technique, a detailed product overview, a search function and a page about offers and new products. In 2013 the Axel Gerstl homepage is the state of the art with an updated user interface and the 360 degree product view. Today the homepage and the web shop are the backbone of the company, It was a long way, but it’s still going on... |
