WEBSITE UPGRADES/UPDATES AND SOME APOLOGIES
Hey everyone, and Happy February.
Let's just start this month off with an apology to anyone that's visited the website in the last week on a mobile device (Android, iPhone/iPad, etc.). And for those that asked: No, it isn't our goal to the website more difficult to use (thanks for asking).
It's actually quite the opposite.
To get everyone up to speed, yes we are making updates to the website. We're real excited, and altogether, there's lots of neat stuff coming down the pipe, but one feature we've been working on the most, is a version of the site optimized for mobile devices.
Rather than reliving the painful details of why it didn't work, let's just acknowledge it didn't for about the first week of trying to get it up/running. Well, it's working great now - and we invite everyone with a mobile device to give it a look. You should find it loads much faster, makes it easier to find what you are looking for, better provides the information, place an order, and easier to reach out if you have any questions.
Now that we have that all dialed in, please check out the site regularly for the other updates, new titles and improvements we
continue to work on.
Let us know what you think - and any suggestions you might have!
We always appreciate the feedback - and look forward to hearing from you. |
