Re: Warmoth website
I'm running OSX 10.3.8 with safari 1.2.4 and my only complaint is that the little buttons for the search filters are windows-ugly (grey squares) and not aqua-beautiful. It's a good site.
Sorry to high-jack this thread but what's up with the Harmony-Central user forums? It's sooooooooo slow and most topics don't even load when I click them. Same **** using the living room PC (firefox and IE).

Re: Warmoth website
Hi Brian. Thanks for checking in.
I run IE 6.x, with Win98SE. DSL connection. Its not so much a problem, as a minor annoyance. Here's what I get:
In this one, I've moused-over "Showcase".
In this one, I've moused-over "Pickguard".
Basically, when I mouse-over a menu item, the menu doesn't fill-in. I didn't realize 'til I grabbed these screenshots that the text is there, just not the background, making it hard to see. I can either, wiggle the mouse over the drop-down, or wait several seconds, and it fills in.
Like I said, not a biggy.

Ah, it's probably just that the Javascript that draws the menu is rendering slow/buggy on your machine. The menu is really, really big - all of it loads even when it's not all displayed, if that makes sense. It's a little taxing on older machines, even when you have a fast connection. It's not as flashy, but the "low bandwidth" version should load and run much faster for you, as it simply doesn't load the dropdown menu. We designed the site so it's still quite navigable without it.

Can you give me an example of another site that renders form buttons aqua-beautiful for you? I'll bet I could do an easy fix for that.
Re: Warmoth website
Hi Brian,
I just now noticed your post.
The error message I get is:
"Error Occurred While Processing Request"
I've linked to the page, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it:
http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_...itemNumber=sn229&subMenuItem=0&subMenuItem2=0
The only way I've been able to get the page to load is by removing the www. but I still have problems navigating the site.
I'm running, the unholy mess that is, Windows ME. Thanks again Bill Gates! My browser is Netscape 7.2
Let me know if there is any other info that will be of help,
Steve

Or I guess I could just post the error message:

Re: Warmoth website
yeah i wish they had online ordering...i would have ordered tons from them in the middle of the night when that urge hits...instead i just keep putting it off or get it somwhere else. i don't know why they don't do it, it's not hard at all to set up and manage and i'm sure sales would increase a bit due to spontanious "add to shopping cart" orders in the middle of the night or days and times they are closed. as far as custom orders go that can easily be done online too with check boxes of the options available for the particular product. granted custom paint orders may have to be called in to explain what you want but if your ordering an alder strat body, top routed for SSS with a hardtail trem in candy red...that could be done easily through an online system that tallys the costs and gives you a final price. this would also cut down on phone calls and e-mails they get with people just wondering how much X with X options would cost since they could just click the boxes for the options they want and see the end total and decide from there if they want it or want to make changes to alter the price. sorry to go off subject a bit and rant but i do web and graphic design and i just see an opritunity for increased sales that they are missing out on for sure since alot of people just like to order things online 1-2-3 at odd times and skip the long distance phone call.

Re: Warmoth website
100% on the money! If your in business you should make it as absolutely, positively easy as possible for people to give you their money. I just placed an order that I would have done much earlier if there was online ordering. Must be a reason they don't do it. Maybe the Warmoth guy will chime in.

Re: Warmoth website
Part of the reason we haven't done this yet is the complexity of our custom-ordering process. Sure, "standard" stuff would be easy to SKU and put in an e-store, but so much of our business is relatively bizarre custom stuff that we don't think it would be much use unless we did it all the way, which is our plan.
We have to make the computer as smart as our salespeople so we don't spend all day calling people back who've placed online orders and say, "No, you can't get 8 pickup routs on that body" "No, it can't be both a trem and a hardtail." "Are you really sure you want that solid rosewood body dyed purple?" etc....
Suffice to say we're going to take the time and care necessary to make sure that when we offer online ordering it will be quick, easy, and accurate.
We're with you 100%! We're working hard on making this happen as we speak.XSSIVE said:

Re: Warmoth website
That's why we try to put smart (and nice) guys on the phone.
Sorry - I mentioned that earlier in this thread but forgot to sign my other posts that way. I just added it to my signature; that'll be easier!XSSIVE said:
Well, part of the fun of building a custom guitar or hot-rodding your guitar is "pushing the envelope". We do spend a surprising amount of time talking people out of things that either won't work or won't come out looking/playing/sounding like the customer wants it to.ArtieToo said:
