Need some help from HMT, New Website needs testing!
 
Well, I am getting ready to launch the new site and I need any of you that can help me out to do so.

If you plan on ordering anything from me in the next days...I would appreciate it if you can go through the NEW and IMPROVED Xenocron Site.

http://www.-------------/catalog

It should be much easier to navigate, better ability to leave notes and basemap info...and improved ability to stay organized and continue to ship stuff as fast as we possibly can. I am going to lower the shipping on this new site as an incentive to try it out here before the old site goes offline...if for any reason prices add up differently or more expensive on the new site, I will honor the better pricing.

If you find any problems, misspelled words, errors or otherwise, I would appreciate it if you could leave me a message either through email, PM or here in this thread.

Also, comments and critiques would help as well...

Thanks!

your turbo filters help stop partials

Otherwise looks good. I think you could make more of your 'saver packages' like shove them on the front page. Otherwise. Seems much easier to navigate.

Re: Need some help from HMT, New Website needs testing!
 
yeah i saw the same particles typo.

on a side note, those filters are fawkin baller! I'm gonna have to get me one of those for the Jeep.

I have one more suggestion on image use. I noticed this when I went to view widebands. Up top you have categories "handheld/portable" "permanent install" and so on. You have a small images for each category. You can kinda notice that they're not real clear pictures. Reason is they are resized by the browser which doesn't work well. The source image is 300pixels wide and you're sizing it to 150 wide. If you get in photoshop, resize that picture to 150 manually, then use the resized version there, it will look 100 times more clean and pretty. It looks like that is the case across most of your images on the site. Resize them in Photoshop to whatever size they're going to be displayed at, it will look alot better.

IRFanView is a good program for doing batch resizing as well if you wanna save some time and its a free download.

Looks very nice, but what's with the CPU on the home page.


Should be something more automotive related.

The pic has a wideband instead of a data logging cable.
I almost bought that combo because that would be DIRT CHEAP
like the new website.
Xenocron Is the man!

Thanks on the typos guys...should fix them tonight.

Madmax, the pic came with the template design...most dont know exactly what the image is or care really...but they do understand it is 'chip' related...it bridges the mental gap. I do plan on changing it in the future...maybe rotate some pictures so its different every time sort of thing but I am really going to try and continue to concentrate on fuel management solutions, electronics and so on. It only shows up on the main page too...

Dustin, "11" is the heat range on these plugs...

And the turbo filters do rock...I have been using one on mine for a while now testing it out and making sure the screen didnt suck in or come loose. They save space and look ok...they certainly dont gaurd against small pieces but how many of us rock any type of filter at all :)

FooK 08-14-2007 05:33 PM

Re: Need some help from HMT, New Website needs testing!
 
You have to be a hardcore mother fucker to rock no filter. I never ran one on my own turbo cars.

It clips them in the short description, when you go to the details of the part you get the full one, I noticed that too.

Those are NGK non-resistor race plugs. The heat range is the -XX at the end. They usually come pre-gapped around 30 thou or so, BUT not always. Definitely check them first.

Also the end of these plugs is the same as the BKR B-series plugs with the recessed electrode.

Yeah it will clip like one or two words so you have to go into if you can't finish it yourself

Re: Need some help from HMT, New Website needs testing!
 
I like it Chris...looks much better than the old site. I noticed when I was looking through the list of distributors you carry that the sentences just seem to end for no apparent reason (like mentioned before), but when you click the link it shows the full paragraph. Probably just me being picky, but why not see if you can put "..." after the point the paragraph cuts off, this way hinting that there's more to read and the person should click the link for the rest of the info. ;)

Particles is still misspelled, you have it as particals.

Also, on http://www.-------------/catalog/ecus-c-24.html

Under Stock P75 ECU


Stock P75 is the ECU used for an LS Motor swap. It should work with a ZC or B20 motor as

Welp...just went live!!!

If you guys have any ideas for new products services you'd like to see...let me know! This makes it much easier to do so than my old.

Also, stay TUNED for my products and offerings in the coming months...

I also plan to attend SEMA this year if anyone wants to meet up for a beer as well as possibly exhibiting and putting on another Seminar at this years PRI Show in Orlando, FL.

I have been toying with the idea of adding just Crome PRO by itself...I might but I'm not sure yet.

Hey Chris, I shot you a messege reguarding a 'kit' to assemble the LC1. Sure, you can go to radio shack and get the stuff you need to put it together, but buying it all in one place wouldnt be that bad of an idea either.


Also, are you changing your home page? www.------------- should go straight to this
