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. |
Re: New Site layout - need feedback
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. |
Re: New Site layout - need feedback
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.

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.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
I agree with that! At least a bunch of pictures of 'a day at work'
Show your guys bending ----, shipping things, the whole nine yards. |

Looks like the Yahoo store, only cleaner.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
That's a great idea...

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
Sounds like more a/v would be good. We will look into it.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
Looks like an OsCommerce site that someone edited and played with the css page.....
No offense, nothing special. It's pretty typical for a OsCommerce page. It is easily the most common base used by small independent businesses. Next is probably Zen-Cart or something like that. Products marked with *** does not exist in desired quantity in our stock. You can buy them anyway and the quinty not in stick will be back orders.The quantity we have in stock for immediate deliver can be checked in the checkout process. |
Re: New Site layout - need feedback
How would you make it better?

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
Hey i think it looks great compared to the yahoo page. Just some spell checking and finish the sub-pages of course.
Can i drive out there tomorrow and snag a piping kit for crx? You guy's open Saturday? |
Re: New Site layout - need feedback
New site looks good.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
Why does it have to be better? It's standard and familiar for most. The best thing you can do is make your site a source for valid information. Meaning, if you sell aluminized steel bends, what is it? Why should I use it? What is it typically used for? Things of that nature help people make final decisions.

Re: New Site layout - need feedback
Send me an email w/ what you need and approximate time you want to be out here. I should be around all day, but the guys don't work saturdays.
