Purple is one of my favorite colors too...and I like it as the "main" color of the site. However, for the smaller print links, it's a horrible color...makes the letters blur together...I'd have to up my screen size just to read them and generally I won't bother just for one site.
Oh, you all are talking about the Online Store subscribe button! lmao. I thought you meant on the main site. I was going kinda nuts trying to figure out what everyone was talking about. Oy, lol. Okay, that is on the store. Truth is, the store and the website are like two different things. The store is like a pre-made template they offer that I edited to add logo, background pic and what not. The website I did from scratch. So I see what you guys are saying now. I will have Rob look into it. He knows the functionality of the store a lot better than I do...
Night and day bro! looks great In IE. More suppliers need to hook up there websites and make it user friendly.
You guys did that and well see more business because of it.

I will have to look into that.
It is on the webstore pages.
I may not have finished it fully.
Thanks

It's bold and beautiful... yet somewhat familiar.... I just LOVE it!!!
Kudos to everyone involved!!

The new design looks good and does not make the site hard to see. Some stores that go with a black theme make it too dark which is not easy to see.
The message about Veterans Day is still on the site. I know you have been busy and may have forgotten about it so just a reminder.
Maybe put something about free shipping over $30 near the top of the store pages. I know it is on the main page but people may not go to the main page. For example, if someone posts a link to a specific product, the main page gets bypassed and people clicking that link would not see anything about the free shipping. Plus, adding a "Free Shipping over $30" reminder to each page may get people to fill their cart a little more.
For me, the menu system is a little much. 4 rows of menu items is a lot. And the secondary options that drop down cover the items below them causing some unintentional clicks. For the top menu, I would condense the options to get 1 row and use drop down and side menu items. For example, combine all 510 items, then a drop down with GP 510 and Joye 510 as options. When one of those is moused over, a second side menu with the additional options.
I'm not sure how much SEO or page click info you are monitoring but the top menu, and duplicated items in the left menu could have a big effect on stats and tracking.
I know everyone has a different style for design so please don't consider my comments as negative. I'm just giving feedback and opinion based on sites that I have built and what I have seen work for other sites.
Now, when is the big Grand Opening sale?

Thanks Type.
So far, I will be working on the RSS feeds, adding Freeship on banner, and condensing the catagories.
No negative reading so far, so I applaud all comments and feedback.
This has been a long time in the works, and it is great to here from all, thanks
Thanks

Double menu uses valuable real estate. Don't see a need for the same links reiterated on the top and the side.
Also (and I never understood this about the old site either), you initially hit the splash page and once you're at the store, there is no way to go back to the splash page. Assuming that there is valuable information on the splash page (otherwise why would you have one?), then there needs to be a way to navigate back. The splash page also has a very different look than the store, although it's tied in with the logo.
Perhaps you can eliminate the splash page and put links to any information you want to keep on the top menu instead of repeating links that are on the side menu?

Thanks for the feedback. As for the "Splash Page" I am assuming you are talking about the main site? If that is the case, I actually did that for a reason. when you click from the main site to the webstore, it opens in a new tab. So you cant hit back, but the store is still open in another tab. I actually figured that would be easier, for those that still want to surf the website and the store going back and forth... Hope this helps!
Yes, you're right that it opens in a new tab. I forgot about that...probably because I usually close the old one when that happens...I try to keep from getting tab cluttered. That's how the old site was too.
