Web site sucks

It would be nice if the OP had mentioned which website he was referring to.

The assumption is CannadaAmmo.com since that's the forum we're all posting in.

Works well for me on the desktop. On the phone, as with so many other sites, it's not the same smooth experience.

Further, I'm increasingly having difficulty with the smaller mobile device screens. So damn you, CannadaAmmo, for my aging eyes.
 
Doesn't work properly for me on Firefox - the tabs with their current deals shrinks the image and does not link to the product. IE: I click on the Magpul tab and there is no picture above, no Magpul items below.
 
I've got a short memory, I don't even remember the old site anymore! Haha

Seriously though, the new one isn't bad...but it's far from perfect. The issue on my phone is that every time I click a link it loads up the next page, but the top of it is ENTIRELY black, so I sit there thinking it's loading something, when in reality it already has and I just need to scroll down a screen or two to find the rest of the page. Seems to work relatively fine with Firefox on the PC.
 
I only use my android phone for all my Internet needs. I don't even have a computer anymore. I have never even seen CANAM or CGN on a desktop computer but manage to be on here at least 10 times a day and used to visit CANAM at least twice a day. I have probably spent 5k there in the last yr alone. right up until the new sight that is. I tried it about a dozen times and gave up. I'm sure I'll get through it on their next big irresistible sale but my once a month impulse buys are no more

Great company with great people but new sight has stopped all window shopping for me
 
Man, glad im not the only one. The new site doesn't just suck, it blows. Abosolutely cannot navigate no matter what browser i use. Chrome, firefox, etc.
 
Dear Canadaammo, I have always been a supporter of your store, but your website is subpar.
please check this website out, this is what your website should look like.

modern, slick and easy to navigate.
 
This is the last comment that I will add since I've made my opinion known previously.

I love the business/deals/attitudes of the canada ammo employees. +1

In regards to the website however.... The actual coding and layout does not reflect well on whoever built the site.

As bad as this sounds... It's honestly like they took a very cheap template (with little coding knowledge) and went forward with site construction.


I'd say I went from checking the old site out almost daily to 2-3 times/month. Still though, it's basically 2-3/month more than everyone else.
 
I guess there are still some bugs to be dealt with in the new code, sometimes beta testing doesn't reveal all the issues. In my experience, it would be great to learn of the issues so they could be fixed, seems very fickle to just drop dealing with a business because the website is wonky, especially if they are good to deal with. If it was me I would appreciate knowing of the issues, I guess they do now.

Hopefully they will get the bugs worked out and version 2.0.x will work better.
 
They basically need to put together a test group, tell them to bring all their mobile devices and run a feedback session with free pizza and t-shirts.
Should come up with about 40-odd action items, hire a good web dev and fix it in a couple of days with a ninja behind the keyboard.

Lets start with fixing the 'edit order' section, it's schizophrenic mix of cart updates and previous orders - just doesn't make sense.
