Microsoft has introduced a major overhaul to the design of the online hub dedicated to its barcode technology.

Visitors heading over to the Microsoft Tag site will be welcomed by a new look and feel, as well as some additional features.

Microsoft Tag’s newly revamped online home certainly looks better than the old one, with the redesign bringing a much lighter and user-friendly look and feel.

“Our new site has gone through some pretty major changes recently. We’ve updated with a clean look and added lots of new information to enable you to learn about and make the most of Tag,” revealed Microsoft’s Nicole Peterson.

According to Peterson, the changes were introduced in response to customer feedback, with the focus on improving the overall user experience.

If for some of you the Microsoft Tag website still seems a tad familiar, it’s because the software giant used Metro UI style elements for the new design.

Among the highlights of the redesign are new tiles and the top menu of the site. Visitors can now get very easy to the content designed to explain just what Microsoft Tag really is.

Peterson notes that additional enhancements involve:

“•Tag in Action – We’ve organized this to highlight who is using Tag, ideas for implementing Tag in your campaigns and how Tag can be used by specific industry.

•Community – This is where our beloved blog lives, but keep your eyes out for new features we’ll be adding in the future!

•Resources – Check here for help with implementing Tags, best practices and a list of Featured Partners we’ve worked with in the past to create great Tag campaigns. We also have downloadable content for you to reference on specific topics, including a presentation that can be used to educate people in your organization about why they should use Tag.

•Developers – We’ve built on our previous Developer section to add more in-depth content around employing Tag’s features and our API, and we’ve also updated our documentation.”
