It's hideous. I don't remember it being so clumsy in design.
Is this an accidental restore of an old backup?
White on black background, frames, crappy little shopping cart in the corner...
This looks like it was designed 10 years ago.
YUCK!

The old format was more friendly with simple menus. |

I have to try to find the add to cart button now (if it's even there on some pages).

Just my opinion... |

|  | living the low life | | Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Gatineau Quebec Canada | | | Sorry to say, but the new web site sucks big time.
From a musician point of view, the designer of the new web site understands absolutely nothing about music, I find that the new site offers a lot less choices visually than the previous one, it makes it very unappealing to browse through, the showcase for bodies and neck is poor at best, it also doesn’t offer a “ view all “ option, it’s very fragmented.
From a designer’s point of view ( Yes I'm also web site designer ), the site is very heavy and does not project the ease of use the previous site offered, it's also task intensive and loads way to slow even on a high speed connection. that dark background is as bad as it gets, there is absolutely no creativity involved here, a first year student would have done it better, flash is way over rated and is not snappy, designer simply build there portfolio instead of building a functional web site, customers need to navigate easily during the transition, there simply not making it possible here.
Here is a hint for web site designers " Think end user, not portfolio ".
My 2 cents
PS : Send them an e-mail and let them know, that’s what I did.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Mesa, Arizona | | | I have done Web design too and stopped because my clients were always trying to squeeze too much out of me and when their business failed, it was always the fault of the Web guy.
I have done one site only for one guy who wanted white on black and when the site got released, he got so much bad rap for it that he asked me to redo it the other way around. When I told him it would cost a little bit (it was a bit more complicated than changing the colors in the CSS), he got pissed and fired me.
Now I am 100% database, as I found out there was strong demand for these skills, and I sleep better.
