Critique rjroffroad.com
 
I am still working on this site, changes daily, but there is so much to do still and alot of it I overlook.

I'd like to have to guys browse around and check it out. Let me know of anything that doesnt look right, work right, or just could be better.

The store is LIVE, so if you place an order, I'm charging your credit card and sending you off-road parts.

http://www.rjroffroad.com

the prices are pretty good, some as much as 20-25% back from jobber/dealer pricing and nothing is more than jobber for you off-roaders.

Don't be too harsh, its been a bad day, I totaled a car on the way to work today.

I only have up or down votes, and the up vote came when I clicked on a manufacturers logo and it didn't just kick me over to thier site. I hate that ----, so you pass. The homepage "welcome statement" could be written better, but other than that it's real good.
I couldn't find anything by bushwacker that I wanted to buy, but let me know when you start selling bushmaster.

I'd never try to re-direct you to another site. If you go somewhere else, it greatly deters you staying on my site and buying stuff. I don't have bushmaster in my vendor listings, got a link?

**edit**

guns? you butthole, you had me trying to find a 4x4 related Bushmaster vendor for like 10 minutes.

A 94 Honda Accord. I'm probably going to fix it, it'll still have a clean title.

i like how the dimensions of the site are kept to 650 x 1050 on the front page..

not digging how it goes back to a full length page on the others..

I know but its alot to fit in 650 width. I could take it down so its a little narrower, but not by much, I will play with it.

Hey man, Congrats on the site. IMO it looks great, good job on getting that far along with a business it looks like you have a nice selection as well.
sucks you wrecked that accord, oh well I think you will be more successful then you think with this site man it is real nice.

Looks good man.

Heres my honest pointers:
-the blue lettering in the opening paragraph made me instantly think "Link". I'd change that color of font, or outline it.
-Steves right, the opening paragraph def. needs to be re-writtin
-and another question. Is the shop new or the site new? If its just the site, I would make sure people know the business has been established for a long time, you are just opening it up on the net to go 'worldwide' now, or 'due to continous growth'. People are sketchy when it comes to buyin from new business', especially over the internet.
-the "enter" line is way to small, I totally missed it the first time I clicked on the site.
-put your counter way at the bottom and reset that bitch to like 8479 or something like that. thats a pretty 'bland' counter also. there are TONS out there that look better IMO


Other than that, I think it looks real good man. O0

You need some real lifts for 99-04 superdutys, donahoe racing or the full throttle coil over conversion. BDS makes a good cheaper kit, procrap is a joke for the earlier trucks. I dont like your bushwaker fender flare shopping because the pics of the trucks dont match the flares, I had to read each description but I will order a set of cutouts in the spring for my beast from you. ;) ps I'm jewing you down :6

The suspension companies I work with are TrailMaster, Tuff Country, Pro Comp, Bell Tech, Energy Suspension, Fabtech, Ground Force, Hellwig, Rancho, Sky Jacker,and Superlift. I don't anticipate any others coming in, but anything you see in those vendors catalogs, I can get.

I am fairly limited on bushwacker images, but you're gonna find that with most of the vendors that sell them. Either way I'm working on it.

-Steves right, the opening paragraph def. needs to be re-written -yeah this stuff is just kinda preliminary, ill be spending months making changes to this site, and you're right it is kind of bland

- Its odd, "RJR Off-Road" is new, while "RJR Products" is a long established business. I know where you're goin with this though.

-the "enter" line is way to small, I totally missed it the first time I clicked on the site. True, but at the same time, there are 20 links on that one page that all put you into the store, so should I even bother?

-put your counter way at the bottom and reset that bitch to like 8479 or something like that. thats a pretty 'bland' counter also. there are TONS out there that look better IMO I moved it I'll work on the other changed later, its not a bad idea.

It really depends on what kind of kit you want, but I can do pretty well for you, especially if you come pick it up from me.

on your response...the "enter"

I didn't click on any of the links. I only looked for the 'enter' and it took me awhile. I didn't even think that the logos were links (nor did I try to click them, I just looked at the page). I personally would make the logos just pictures and make a nice 'enter' button somewhere.

Just telling you from a normal dipshit who looks at a website.


one more thing, as I said...
I would highly recommend putting in there something about the business has been established for a long time...and isn't it sorta a 'family' business? Note that in the site also, maybe in the opening paragraph or a "A family business going for 8 years strong" or something along those lines. That IMO is well worth spending an extra $ on. I myself would rather buy from a small business rather than a large business. I could buy pro comp shocks about anywhere on the internet....tell me why I should buy from you, thats what you wanna relay onto the customer.

On that note, check out Steves site. Look at his opening paragraph and compare it to yours. Steve lays it right out to the customer for his goals to you as a customer as soon as you go to his site:

"Welcome to Stealthmode Performance, performance parts for performance cars. Our goal is to provide you with economical and innovative products to meet your performance needs.
Our parts are designed for the automotive performance world. We try to offer the parts that you need, and the prices you can afford. We don't waste time with useless parts that don't contribute to you going faster."


And then you have your intro:

Welcome to RJR Off-Road. Do you need a winch? Or maybe you need a lift kit? Whatever the part you need for your Truck, SUV, Jeep, or even your Hummer, we are the place for you. Dedicated to keeping prices as low as possible, and constantly growing the product line we sell, we strive to be your #1 choice when deciding where to buy your Off-Road accessories.

Your asking me if I need a winch or a lift kit. To anwser the question your asking the customer...yes. Thats why they are at your site. Now tell them why they should buy from you instead of joe-shmo on ebay with a feedback of 5,000 positive. Don't talk about adding more product's...strive to sell the ---- you have. Adding more products means your not selling what you have...why would someone wanna buy that from you?

Ok, im done. It does look good, looks like you put alot of work into it...just a few minor changes. :)

That got a chuckle. It's probably the sleep deprivation.

Uhm, site is clean and easy to navigate, but sizing ---- to fit 640X480 resolution is a step back to 1994. It is not 1994.

On the front page, the blue Contact Us .::. Terms and Conditions .::. Privacy Statement .::. Shopping Cart .::. Wish List .::. Lookup Order bullshit looks gay as hell with how it wraps around all crappy and un proportioned. Do something else.

Store interface itself is generic template commonly used these days; familiar, easy to navigate, parts categories are well laid out and stuff. Just make sure you keep on top of having pictures for each item (big enlargement where needed), it helps make things look professional.

Home page looks like it's from 1990, the huge tables and beveling on the font are wack. Did you make that with frontpage on windows 95?

Tom-Guy 10-19-2006 10:42 AM

Re: Critique rjroffroad.com
 
Agreed, I wouldn't throw away the front pagedesign, but a tweak is in order. Now, quote the tweak part, Frank, and make a meth joke. :)
