DMG ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW TEAKDECKING SYSTEMS WEBSITE
Design Marketing Group, Inc. (DMG) announces the launch and redesign of www.teakdecking.com, a new interactive website for Teakdecking Systems (TDS).  TDS is the premier manufacturer of custom teak decks for yachts and ships, serving boat builders, owners and the marine industry since 1979.   Both DMG and TDS are based in Sarasota, Florida.

The new website showcases Teakdecking Systems' technology and it's broad range of products and services including the new Eco line of products. The website also provides customers with educational videos and support tools. 

Alan Brosilow, TDS Yacht Services Manager commented, " At TDS, we are committed to building strong customer relationships and providing superior service.  We want to make access to information and services easy for our customers.  DMG has supported our efforts and worked with our team to develop a website, displays and marketing communications that enhance our brand recognition and customer communication."

In 1979, Teakdecking Systems developed the concept of pre-assembled teak decks in modular form. By 1983, TDS brought the process to North America to serve the burgeoning production boat and Yacht business. Over 25 years later, the TDS' procedure is considered to be the most practical and cost efficient way to install teak decks on a yacht.
