Likwid Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Serious guys, fix your website. On a transactional website you shouldn't have to dive down 15 levels to find out the price AND the size available. Seriously. If you're doing it on purpose then I understand, but if you just don't feel like fixing it you're fucking with my head!Example. I want a jacket, XXL black. How do I find it?Click Street > Jackets > Brand > Color > Size (or lack of)I know most people are going to argue that they may shop on brand and all that jazz but the ultimate driver in a retail world is price. Love it or leave it, price is a driver. Burying it doesn't make sense. Organize your content by Category > Price then add the other stuff as filter or sort content.that is all/rant Edited July 28, 2009 by Likwid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Funny. I was just on their website as well and thinking, "they really need to hire a web designer, this shit sucks". I ended up just going to Competition Accessories website. It's a million times better, and the prices are the same on most everything. Iron Pony's website makes my head hurt with how unorganized it is. Then add to that how slow it is....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 FYI. Online prices are IIRC, 10% less than in store prices.That 10% is to pay you back for the mental trauma of buying online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 FYI. Online prices are IIRC, 10% less than in store prices.That 10% is to pay you back for the mental trauma of buying online. Yah seriously. Just make it 5% for a month, give me 5% of that amount and I'll write the requirements for a new setup.I could probably find some folks to do the development too.... there's no excuse for how lazy they got with their site. Really. Even if it's $ it's just lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 yes but due to some customer service issues, i refuse to deal with comp, so untill pony fixes there site, ill just deal with it.compacc.com has pretty much nothing to do with comp except be located in the same building. I ordered the wrong windscreen and had no problems getting it switched out. (the instore service sux tho and amount of stuff NOT available makes for a huge fail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey1 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) I don't care for shopping in store either. Don't get me wrong the service I have received has always been great and they have most anything you will ever need.......if you can find it. I am not sure if it is set up by vendor due to vendor requirements or what, but it is a poor layout. Imagine going to the grocery store to look for ketchup. You come to the isle that has Heinz. You scratch your head and say WTF where is the Hunts? You pull out your handy dandy MAP to find out that the brand you want is on the other side of the store. Umm yeah, screw that. I think it should be layed out by item and then subdivided by style, then price, then brand. Great stuff if you have a day to kill looking for it.But I should stress, I have always had great friendly service and they do have great pricing on things.

If you ever decide to have website built....don't hire a russian web designer who's wife tries to explain to him what you want. lol......we are currently working with a new company and hope to launch a new website by Jan. 1 2010. In the meantime.....hit me up via email, i would be glad to help anyone out. ctoombs@ironpony.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
