New Look Site

[adam]

Ok, the new look site is live; Press Ctrl F5 to refresh your browser if it does not show the new layout.

Please have a look through if you have the time and do let us know here if you find any issues, or have feedback (positive or negative).

If you can think of a better layout for menus, or think something is missing... let us know here.

As you can see, we've featured some of the GOTY entries in the Home Page slider. I will try and keep this fairly fresh and feature new, completed builds, and mix up the kit styles.

As mentioned before, there's always issues with a changeover, so please bear with us while we address these.

One issue: If you placed an order between the 17th and today, it will be missing. Rest assured, we have it and, it if it hasn't been shipped yet, it will be, or the kit will be on backorder.

While the Site looks different (hopefully an improvement), much of the upgrade is in the back end, so it should be faster and more responsive.

Down the track, we will have more options for Product Bundles, Upgrades, and Recommended Add-ons.

Hope you like the new look.

Looks good, Adam, and it does load faster.

Pretty profesh mate.

[Dedman]

Defiantly loads quicker for me. Looks swish, I was reaching for my wallet before I knew it.

[Rabbitz]

Looks good.

One 'exception' for me - on the tools page none of the images for the BABICZ items are visible.

I like it and I'm an old bloke who usually resists change so it must actually be FANTASTIC

Thanks Rabbitz, you just found an error. Those Babicz items and the other items on that page should be in Spare Parts, not Tools.

No, we don't have pics for the babicz spare parts... it's been on my To Do List for a few months... ok over 12 months.

Looks great Adam and much easier to use and navigate.

Damn that looks good. Nice job man.
Loving pretty much everything about it. The home page just looks awesome. And all the pages are pretty fresh, which I like.
Looking at it again, my only gripe is the guitars shown on the homepage slider are zoomed in too much because of the width of the slider (had a bit of a battle with that myself on my own site, good fun). You could get around it by pushing a white or black border or something around the picture to make it wider, and fit into the frame nicely, which would get the whole guitar in the picture, and looking shmick.

I feel like ideally for new kits that come out, do a fancy shoot with a black background like the first guitar shown on the homepage has. Then show that on a small slider down the bottom for 'new kits', so the whole front page has some fancy looking shots kinda thing. Then when you go to the listing, have the normal shots. More work, but makes those teasers look delicious
