May 8, 2007 (Website New Look)

We are in the process of testing some new features on our website, and are looking for some outside testing. The basic changes we’ve made:

  1. You can customize the website to be “device dependent” so that you can browse olivetree.com just based on your device and the features and products that will work for you.
  2. You can now build your own software bundle, and get discounts accordingly. This new discount system is already in place, and the discounts will apply to any purchases you make, once you turn on the testing mode for the site.

Please send all comments, suggestions, and feedback to support@olivetree.com.
