Webiste Opinions

Hey everyone, if it is not too much of a problem could you all take a look at my site and tell me what you think. There is only the flash intro, home page and contact page, however, I wanted to get some input on it. Thanks and as always your help is appreciated!!

Mike

I like it, it's professional and clean. Are you going to build a Flash interface w/buttons and such for the product pages?

My only humble recommendation is to maybe add some more color, mainly the background from a lot of white space to something more comfortable on the eyes? Just my thoughts for whatever they are worth.

I noticed you have Bilstein on there. How much would it cost me for front and rear Bilsten shocks for my 1997 4Runner 4WD?

You really should consider either losing the Flash at the front or allowing a skip option. The first order of business should be business. Save the fluff for product pages.

Just my $0.02.

Looks kool, crisp (I like sayin' that )...the colors pop. I don't mind the intro, lots of sites I view have that and I like the visuals...kinda sets up what's next...hopefully good stuff, prices and service. My problem with buying online is always the damn shipping to this rock I'm on. Brown reams me and rarely do I find a biz willing to ship USPS. It's extra work but sometimes it's the only way for me...especially the more unique stuff. Let us know when the site is ready to rock.

Alright here it is....the flash intro will have a skip function. In regards to shipping, I do my best to have the item shipped the way the customer wants it. I have a regular full time job...this site and business is to allow those to have the opportunity to purchase products at reasonable prices in order for them to built the rig they want. I do not have the over head thay large companies have, I when possible deliver right from the manufacturer to you to avoid that.

Anyhow, thank you for taking the time to check it out...it is far from complete but I wanted some opinions on the layout...thanks guys and girls!

Good. I like the flash but a 'skip intro' is always good to have. So how about those Bilsteins? Can you email me a price for those please?

You are exactly right in regards to the speed of the flash intro, I am going to speed it up cause it seems at one point to hang to long. There will also be a skip option for those who could care less to watch it and just want to jump right in. Anyhow appreciate the comments!
