Humanoids Publishing's new website went live today at: http://www.humanoids-publishing.com This site is a re-imagined website offering several new features including animations, discussion boards, and updated release schedules.
"This is a really important step for us", said Ian Sattler, Marketing Manager for Humanoids. "This site is an avenue for fans to not only have a chance to get updated on our books, but communicate with us as well. For new fans, the website is a great way to be introduced to our publications. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the future of the site, in terms of expanding it over time to include as many cool bells and whistles as possible. We'll always be trying to do something exciting, from contests to exclusive sneak previews of artwork. Itıs going to be a lot of fun."
In addition to release schedules, back catalogue information, and discussion boards, http://www.humanoids-publishing.com also features news updates and links to flash animations. The flash animations are of special note as they are for two of Humanoids' more popular series, The Metabarons, and From Cloud 99. Also included are art submission guidelines and contact information for the company.
Humanoids has also created a special section for retailers on http://www.humanoids-publishing.com, where they can register to receive updates on special ordering incentives and releases.
"We are dedicated to keeping this website updated and relevant", said Dave Olbrich, Publishing Director for Humanoids. "Not only does that provide more value for fans, but it helps us in terms of information gathering and promotions. I hope that we can also use the site to increase our contact with retailers as well."
