Williams Sonoma Launches Cultivate.Com

By TechTaffy Desk

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Williams-Sonoma has launched Cultivate.com, a content site and online resource for kitchen inspiration and design. Part online design magazine, part community networking site, Cultivate.com is focused on providing information and inspiration for kitchen design and remodeling – it is not an e-commerce site and does not sell merchandise, says Williams-Sonoma.

Cultivate.com lets designers, architects, and other kitchen professionals upload free profiles with information about their business and albums of their best kitchen projects. Consumers who join the site can create private, online inspiration folders with their favorite kitchen designs and information on the professionals they are interested in working with. Cultivate.com also provides an opportunity for consumers to share their ideas and their kitchens with other enthusiasts.
