Title: Our New Web site is up and running
Post by: Bow man on January 19, 2012, 06:48:00 PM
Our webmaster turned on our new website today with online catalog for instock bows online ordering of Predator camo and our A-Way hunting products. We have the success photo page done as well.

Over the next couple of day's we will have an interactive bow ordering page done and Pictures of bows some of the bows we have built over the last year uploaded to give the shopper ideas for there bow that they are ordering.

We still need to tweak some odds and ends over the next couple of day's, so please keep checking back on the progress

Please check it out and let us know what you think

Looks great.

One technical note: the thumbnails, on for instance your in-stock bows, are all fairly big file size (one I checked was 791k - could be ~10k), so the page loads quite slowly. It would load much quicker if your webmaster were to replace those big image files with much smaller files which in turn would link to larger/higher resolution files when clicked. Also, even for high quality images, 791k is pretty high.

Hope that made sense,

Henrik

Great looking site.

I agree with Henrik.  The thumbnails loaded very slow and when I clicked "enlarge image" the pic was WAY large.

Look forward to checking back on it soon.

David,
I luv the look of your bows, but to me, and this is just constructive criticism, but I don't care for the slogan with the word "sexiest".

To me, "sexiest" and bows just don't go together...

Have to agree with Curt. I saw Sexiest did not bother opening site.

Best of luck.

Nice job on the site....get the bugs out of the thumb nails and you'll be good to go. I really like some of the wood and stained camo options.

I'm not David but thanks for compliment on our bows. The slogan was my idea.  :rolleyes:   We were trying to highlight the "curvy figure" our risers have. Back before we owned the company I was shopping for a bow and trying to explain what I was looking for to a friend(Arwin). I said I wanted one that was curvy and sexy. I found that in a St. Joe and the rest is history so to speak.   ;)

"Sexiest" didn't bother me at all. Good looking site.

Site looks great, and I like sexy bows too.   :thumbsup:

One suggestion...  When you click on the Predator pics for larger ones, they aren't much larger.  Might not hurt to make them bigger and easier to see.  Nice to compare the patterns that way.

Thanks for pointing that out I will see what we can do. It is still a work in progress to find and fix some of the little issues. One of the bigest issue was to get the picture resolution right so the pictures loaded quickly. Which I believe it is right now

It will be there unless it sells. I think Tracey was channeling Pink floyd the day she was working on that one
