I really like threnew look. Its easy on the eyes with the white space, and its easier to navigate.
I suppose you could call it generic because most sites today use the same style and layout, but thats because it's generally better all around.

The best thing I've seen in this thread though is "going 100 percent" wysiwyg. IMO that should be the only way vendors should be aloud to sell on these forums. It really helps protect the buyer and seller from confusion as well as false hopes. For that I take my hats off to all the vendors that choose this business model.

+1 on the WYSIWYG. definitely agree on that. i'm not hating on the new site or WWC but that's exactly what I liked about the old website, it wasn't "like everybody else".

Site is awesome!!! Where are you hiding all your rare corals? ha ha also no more cut to order section? I miss just looking at the pic's!!!!

Checkout the "Gallery" tab for pics of corals.
Im sure if you really wanted a specific one you could ask them about it!

you know i said i liked it earlier but the more i look at it the more i dont like it.the black background was WAYYYYYY better and easier on the eyes.plus it contrasted the corals better.i think you should at very least change the background color to black.

New look site is not bad..... I'll try to break it down.

WYSIWYG is cool
JASON FOX CORALS is cool
DEALS, DEALS, DEALS is cool
GALLERY IS REALLY COOL AND NEEDS MORE PICS
STORE TOUR is cool
HD VIDEO'S is really cool

THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT COOL IS THAT I CAN'T SEE THE CORALS AS GOOD AS I USED TO ON MY DROID X PHONE OR COMPUTER BECAUSE I AM BLINDED BY A WHITE SCREEN

Thanks,
Billy

I agree, bring back the black background. It really looks good in contrast to the bright corals.

I liked the old site much better. The colors contrasted well, it was easy to navigate (for me) and stood out from other vendors. So much of this hobby is about presentation and color, and this translates even to the website design. I know I feel more confident buying from a nice site that looks professional than some site using a template everyone uses.

I think you guys are probably the best vendor out there, and your site should reflect that. My advice would be to listen to your customers, and create a website(storefront) that upholds the same high-quality standards as your coral.

Fyi for everyone, the site it's not a template it was fully custom build from scratch for us.

Also we do like better black background but most likely you won't find a big shopping website with a black background, our old website did look great but the performance of this one will blow the old one out of the water.

just because THEY dont have a black background doesnt mean YOU shouldnt.it really set your site apart and is easier on the eyes and contrasts the corals better.
