Los Angeles Business Journal (03/26/07)
LOS ANGELES (July 16, 2007) – California Pottery & Tile
Works™ (CPTW), by combining
modern design technology with the ancient craft of
ceramics, has quickly become the go-to place for
design professionals, contractors and do-it-yourselfers
throughout California and the Southwestern United
States. With the August 15, 2007 release of Tile
Painter™ 2.0,
CPTW has improved upon an already invaluable tool
for anyone who wants to capture the essence of “Old
World” tile making or invent a 21st Century
re-interpretation of classic Malibu-inspired tiles. The
new Tile Painter™ 2.0 from
CPTW will provide design professionals and their
clients with the opportunity to quickly create unique
custom tile designs, and will secure the company’s
place as the industry leader in fusing cyber-technology,
enhanced platforms and good ole’ fashioned
tile design.
“Customization is a key aspect of our business
model,” comments CPTW founder Sean McLean,
who originally created the concept for Tile Painter
in 1995. The online, user friendly version of Tile Painter,
was initially launched in 2001.
“Tile Painter™ 2.0 is
the true definition of what I imagined as an online
tile designer,” McLean adds about the highly
integrated features, easy-to-use applications, user-friendly
navigation and interactive tutorial flash program
for industry professionals and their clients. Tile Painter
allows design professionals to layout their original
ceramic visions, in full color. Tile Painter
also provides a huge boost to designers and architects
when faced with residential and commercial clients
who need a little help in visualizing the finished
product before ordering strike-offs and prior to
order fulfillment. The use of Tile Painter by
the design professional will assist us at CPTW in
making sure that a project is delivered on-time and
on-budget with minimal or no change orders. The
new, Tile Painter™ 2.0 is just
what McLean envisioned as the most cost and time
effective way to fulfill the high volume, time sensitive
orders required by developers of commercial and hospitality
projects as well as being a reliable, time-saving
tool to satisfy the discriminating
tastes and specific needs of residential clients.
