New Site layout - need feedback
 

Although I pretend to have taste .. my eye for this stuff is limited, and our site designer justin j. is doing a hell of a job with so little direction. Likes? Dislikes? Additions needed (not product related)?

new (oscommerce b2b loaded)

http://mandrel-bends.com/catalog/

old (yahoo store)

http://store.racing-solutions.org/

BTW - for those considering yahoo stores... We weren't really paying attention to how much money we were paying in fees to these guys as they take like 1.5% of your sales + ~$150-200/mo for the site. When we closed out the year, we totalled out the yahoo fees & service cost to just under $10k for the year! Buyer beware for the growing business!!! That's insane.

I think it looks good.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
 

I think an 'about us' page is always good, especially if your a 'built in the US' kinda place. Elaborate on that ----!
Actually, all 3 links at the top, other than the home button is still unfinished. Actually, a lot of the site is unfinished.

adam the new site looks good to me. too bad you couldnt have figured that out soon and used that 10K you saved on hookers and coke.

+1

Looks good though... just fill in all the templates and make sure to emphasize your ---- is not ching chong meow.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
 

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's still another week or two before it will actually function correctly with product. Just the basic graphics layout is functioning now.

We will definitely emphasize the made in the USA, made with US tube, etc. I hadn't considered that.

It's crazy how those little fees add up.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
 

It looks better than the old one, definitely explain your quality USA made products. As a bit of a manufacturing geek I like seeing other peoples machines and their shop floor with pics or videos of the machines at work, but that likely won't make you sell anymore tube.

Just a bit :P :1

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
 

can you put the best sellers in order of popularity?

i think having short videos of certain bends (ie a big 90, small UTR, press forming for shapes/etc) would be a good front page sorta 'hey, we make our own ---- and show you we do' with maybe a quick lookaround of the shop from a stationary point?
