Ha! Pretty much encapsulates every argument ever made on the internet, whether it's about politics or websites or instruments or pretty much anything else.

lol No doubt.

Looks and works fine on my iphone, and my Windows phone. Works with Safari, so I will adapt or die...

Just for my reference, what kind of service do you have (3G,4G?) and what OS/browser?


Hi Greg,
I'm on iOS 9.3 (mobile Safari) over both wifi or 4G. I've attached a PNG of what I'm seeing with the white images (slow loading).

Great refresh to the site, well done :) Looks good on iPhone and Mac..

+1 for Hotshots Gallery.

The new higher res photos throughout are great

1 issue I spotted - on the instruments/railboard page, the slideshow of images has the image number superimposed over each photo.

I agree with those saying the Stick logo should feature.. A logo is an important visual hook for any business and IMO ought to be present on any company website, at least on the homepage..

I also wonder if consideration could be given to the first photo that appears on the main homepage slideshow. At the moment it is the "Stick Community" one - which belongs in the cycle but maybe isn't the best one to be first up.. Just my subjective opinion here but a great shot of The Stick while it's being played in a live setting might be the right "first impression" as a landing image - puts the purpose of the instrument, the site, the community, in context immediately. Just an idea!

Love it though, very clean, very flexible. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!

Just now, checking on something to answer a question, I could not find any way to get to the R-Block information page using the site navigation.

Hi Rob,

Using the menus you are correct, but there are at least three links on the site that would take you there.

1. in the front page slide show, the caption for image of the R-Block
2. on the Railboard page, the entire image of the R-Block in the slideshow (element #2)
3. on the Pickups page (from about/innovations)

Something to look into clarifying, perhaps...

Just added some extra links on the main Railboard page.

Thanks for the feedback

To whom it does concern,

The new stick.com website is a hot mess, both on the mobile device and PC device. It's a train wreck of a design, like whomever did the work is a musician and not a graphic artist.

There is no tweaking this effort. There is no fix short of a total overhaul which will rid you of this liability. It's that bad.

Man, I really liked the design of the original site. I know all those folks couldn't look at it and shop while zooming down the interstate, but DAMN. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Is it worth hiring a clone of Glenn to take over this disaster? It would be a fairly straightforward job to make the site similar to the old one, but with mobile capabilities. There is no need to settle for a BLOG design which looks like a BLOG to new potential customers.

Even WIX has some better options.

UGH,

K Rex

A couple of years ago, it also took me a while to get acustomed to the so called 2.0 websites. K, I'm afraid you're getting old. ;-)
