What up BWE!

Drum roll please:

WE REMODELED THE WEB STORE!!!!

www.KayakFishingSupplies.com

The new site has been up for about a week now. We're still working out lil' glitches, but we're very happy that we finally rolled it out.

Too many new features to list...

Check it out - your feedback is welcome!

In celebration, we just flipped the switch on for 15% OFF storewide sale... Standard restrictions apply....

Thank you very much for your support,
and for your kind and generous overwhelming input...

I see what I see - if we don't see some feedback about the new web site, that we all let our recent YT and WSB swim unharmed putting endless nights & days working on, we're shutting down BWE for a couple of days to let the server cool off...

BTW - BWE major revamp is next on the list...

C'mon gang, you gotta keep us motivated.

i'll give you comments from the jaded eyes of a web developer...

it's tough to compare without seeing them side by side, but from what I remember, this version is a lot easier to read and use.

- pages load fast, that's nice.

- some of the category descriptions are pretty wordy. (i.e. accessories & electronics) i'm thinking less than 1% of the users will read through that stuff and it's taking up all the space above the fold. everyone will just scroll & scroll over that stuff to get to the products. a short summary with links off to pages with all the additional info might be more effective. then at least i'd expect that i'm going somewhere to read some info on accessories and electronics.

- similar comment for the store front. that's a lot of valuable space big blocks of text are taking up.

- you have categories for bait tanks, and bait tank parts, but there are lots of bait tank parts in the bait tanks category.

- contact info is placed well throughout the site.

- search seems pretty accurate, and fast.

overall, it's a pretty good user experience.

Great input, thanks MuddyMike!

We're still doing the clean up - it's a process.
Your very specific input is helpful and much appreciated!

Nice, I like it.

I think the site is an improvement. It is cleaner and seems to be very logical. If I had a choice between the two sites, I would choose the new one.
