SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Experts Exchange, the leading online community for technology professionals, announced a complete redesign of its website and the addition of significant new features. The site, already well-known worldwide for its technology question-and-answer forums, now boasts new social networking tools, thousands of how-to articles and videos, and more member-contributed content types, all housed in an inviting and collaborative social network for the tech industry.
"Experts Exchange has played a vital role in the career advancement of IT professionals for nearly twenty years," says Brian Clausen, CEO, Experts Exchange. "The redesign demonstrates our focus on the key benefits we can provide to our members, enabling them to learn new technical skills and network with other tech professionals, in addition to helping them solve tough technology issues."
New features on the redesigned site include:

Since the launch of the new website, Experts Exchange's monthly site traffic has increased nearly 300 percent, and new member additions have increased tenfold since early May.
Originally launched in 1996, Experts Exchange offered answers to technology questions written by designated "Experts" in specific technologies.

In turn, increased visibility in the technology community allows for more connections and validates credibility when supplying solutions. The site already hosts over 4 million verified technology solutions.
