New site going up

I hope you don't mind a nit-picky comment.

On the thunderbird page in the dual zipper section...
the line:
Right and left side seperating zippers allow you to enter/exit

The bolded red word should be spelled "separating".

I saw this and I thought you would want to know.

...should be spelled "separating".

No, nit-picky is good.
There's probably a dozen more hiding in there somewhere.

Like the flow of the site - a couple of typos I noticed:
On the Darien UL page under Dutchware should be whoopie and not whoopie and under Experience Required it should be unfamiliar instead of unfamilier.
On a more positive note I got my Darien UL yesterday and wow! The wind and hail cut my test hang short but I think I am in love. The ACU 1oz. Fabric is so silky and I love the stretch. This might actually be more comfortable than my WBRR.
Thanks Papa

Great site Randy, I thought your first two versions (that I saw anyways) were both very user-friendly and the order status page is exceptional. Combined with the extreme levels of detail about each hammock and the options available, I'd suggest that your site is in a class all by itself.

Very nice, easy to navigate.

Maybe its just me...

Before seeing this thread I went to the homepage, and almost left thinking it was still in progress... or the rest of the website wasn't there.

The single link to you current line of products isn't obvious enough... as dumb as that sounds... The homepage looks like its one of those single page placeholder pages with a contact us link or a gallery of photos or something.

Basically anything a person would want to do on the website, they have to click through that single link on the homepage to do... So it seems a bit extra to even bother with.

I bet if you track page views an appreciable number of people would just stop at the into before even seeing the meat of the website... Just my honest reaction from looking at it, but I feel like you will lose a certain % of people who are just browsing around and stumble upon something they never knew they wanted by making them dig through links (OK, even just the one) to get there?

Again, just my 2 cents...

Scryan is right. As currently set up, order tracking that was earlier applauded is replaced with aspirational language for the future. Hammock models and pricing that only a HF member and Dream-Hammock geek might understand are featured.

When you click on "Products" and then "hammocks", you must then choose one, without context which should be all one page, to distinguish, that hammock from others you offer.

Better to be told up-front the major distinctions and dimensions of the hammocks, and then go to a page for more detail, if interested.

Thanks for the feedback. This gives me a few ideas about which areas need more work.

Looks great PS. I would make one suggestion. I always like a product features comparison chart with a column for each product and a row for each feature. Check marks for each product/feature included in the matrix.

Yea, I like those too. Maybe that's the content needed on the overall hammocks page.
