Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

you can't look at "painted" vs "unpainted" bodies, for instance
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Actually, I just figured that out. If you click on stratocaster, then solid or hollow, it will give you the option to look at finished vs unfinished. I still don't like it though.

Yeah the new Warmoth site is.... different. I also prefer the old one, but it's not gunna stop me from ordering from them though. Got a Vintage Pearl Pickgaurd coming for my shell pink strat :burnout:
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

It seems more difficult to go to things that you want..they have everything sort of in folders now but the old way you could go to anything from anywhrer with the old menu..
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

I dont much like it either. Call me a creature of habit or something.
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Its different, whether its any better we will find out shortly. It seems to be a bit more logically laid out and you can go to things quicker but like everything thats new it will take time to get accustomed to it.

Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Yes it is a P.I.A. getting around in it. They must have had a woman make it "better". :newangel:

How's that for PC :rolleyes:
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Well, as someone who builds websites for a living, I'm not too attracted to the very rudimentary design and poor use of the 'institutional' green as the main colour, but the dhtml menu system is a massive improvement in site navigability. The old site was astoundingly poor from a navigation point of view.

Damn, that's an absolute nightmare from a design standpoint.

I feel the same way. I imagine that if I were a first time visitor I would have an easier time on the new site than the old. I think all you guys were just comfortable with the old website.
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

Reminds me of the design of the ed roman site.

looks boring but its easy to navigate.

getting to gutiar bodies took too long on the old site.
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

I think it looks better. I had a bit of a hard time getting around though. And for the life of me I couldn't find the darn prices anymore. I had to call them to ask where they were. The rep said that's been common now. I suggested they make the prices easier to find.
 
Re: Anyone Else Dislike Warmoth's New Website?

well, having looked at it a bit more ...
from a design standpoint, the overall navigation will be better, in time, however right now, it really takes me more clicks to get where I need to go.

But they did clean it up, and use a consistent design - the old site had sort of grown organically over time, and the pages were inconsistent

I did notice, for instance, that if I wanted to look at "guitar pickups", I had to click twice - the first time I got "bass pickups".

I also don't care for mid justification in tables of price lists - it's just unusual, and more difficult for the eye to follow.

as for the color scheme - they went out of their way to make each area a different color - some work, and some don't

more importantly, for us - their prices on Antiquities are way high!

of course, all this criticism puts the heat on me to clean up my own site! :sad:
