New Website

Thank you for visiting the new website and posting your thoughts here. We do appreciate all the feedback, both positive and negative as the more input from the people who we built this for will help us identify and fix any issues that are present.

We have our very dedicated IT department working to iron out any kinks and get the site working with the utmost speed and efficiency for your pleasure.

I am working to correct any price or description discrepancies which I hope to accomplish by the end of day tomorrow.

I am certain that when we get the site working at 100%, you all will be able to appreciate the enhancements which we have implemented to make your viewing and shopping experience more enjoyable. The next step after we resolve the issues, is to begin adding more photos and more detailed descriptions for the products we carry so that you can make the most informed decision when shopping on our site.

I welcome any feedback you wish to provide and the more detailed you are, the better we can resolve the issue to you satisfaction.

I really hope everyone will come to appreciate the new website to the degree that we at Canadaammo.com appreciate our audience.

Thank you.
 
The scrolling header looks better. The way the items are displayed is much harder on the eyes...somewhat headache inducing.

Have the mouse over rectangle that appears with "more info", and "add to cart" appear by default for each item, or at the very least have the rectangle for each item by default, and keep the "more info/add to cart" popup interactive on the mouse over.
 
So far, I really like the new CanAm website, both from the functional and esthetic perspective.

A really nice face-lift, it definitely adds a sense that one is not dealing with a two-bit outfit. Give your website coders a pat on the back - nice touches with the "hover" image functions. Search also works well; I like the way it categorizes the initial search results, which allow one to pick and choose from the additional categories.

Shopping cart/Check-out is nice and clear as well - hope the security is there with it.

Good job CanAm.
 
The categories are good once selected but the homepage..

Why does everyone switch to this dumbed-down "mobile" format? The ammo section takes up a full page to display three options. The whole homepage could almost fit into one page without the need for scrolling, so why spread everything out over a giant page format? Even phones nowadays have gobs of resolution and there is no need for the huge, borderless tile format that takes up tons of space, and massive fonts where 3 word stake up half the screen. In my opinion the homepage is harder to use now.

Edit - as constructive criticism I would suggest putting a link at the top of the homepage for
firearms, ammo and accessories. You shouldn't have to scroll down to access them.

Old site should come back. This one does not work on mobile (iPad) and does not refresh in real time, forcing you to hit update . Old site back please.
 
So far, not impressed. Definately better on mobile, but the old site was much better on a PC. Slow and plenty of errors.
 
I don't know why we need two threads on the same subject. However, I don't understand why firearms retailers keep changing their sites to the god-awful wordpress style blog sites. Big, slow and bulky sites that frustrate users.

I'm aware they are not going to put their old site back up, but at least it was fast to search. IT people get paid to test sites and do real-world load data analysis on the live server pre-launch. Apparently they missed this step?

It really makes me facepalm when business' do this - gun owners are (as a majority) super conservative and generally hate change. So lets change stuff so people could buy less?
This new site goes under the bookmark folder with Al Flaherty's and OSTS - slow loading sites I don't visit anymore.
 
Well done. Nice graphics, menus very clear, layout logical, filter and search features works well.

But it is sloooooooooow. The database, web cache and/or web server may need tweaking.
 
What! Have you guys done? Must be me, cause your old sight format was way easier to use and to find products. Before you could scan the whole page quickly, now you got to scroll and wait! What was simple is now more frustrating to find what you are looking for! The pictures are better that's good, but why didn't you fix the the no picture? Like for say a black bag , no picture, but for the same bag in green or tan there's a picture that you have to click on to FAIL! Sorry to be Negative Nancy!!! But that's the way I see it. I realize that you payed good money to have it changed over but it( your sight) just became another belly button on the beach, nothing that stands out from the others. I liked your front page there was almost every thing there just choose and click. Now click to find the options click category: click and stroll click and stroll. Remember how in the 80's all most all the rock bands looked the same. Following the vogue is not always the best route, simply if it ain't broke don't mess with it! So there's my two cents from the peanut gallery. Is Evey thing going the IKEA route? A funneled corridor? Me I am a free ranger go the direction I want, OK! My ranting is starting to peter out now! Still love you guys just don't like the new curtains and rug:runaway:
