What's going on with the website?

[Kimmy]

In the premium cart section...each mg is listed individually now? Why is that I'm wondering. Also there is a new auto battery for 2.50 more? Vapor4Life- Electronic Cigarette: Vapor King Battery- Blue

What makes it better? I don't recall hearing about any of this. Someone let me know what I missed.

Update: Mark fixed the website problem, that battery I speak of is actually an old one. A mod can close this thread if they like so not to confuse people! Thanks!

PS: V4L is awesome. That is all.

I'm cornfuzzled by the site now as well. Also, some batts have seperate links for mutli-logo versus single now, yet the shorts still seem to require a notation in comments.

I noticed the premium cart changes over the last few days. I was hoping it was a work in progress and not the end state.

I also saw the more expensive batteries and couldn't tell what made those worth the extra $$$.

Hopefully someone will enlighten us.

I'm sure they could find someone website/tech friendly to completely redesign it and make it a little more user friendly. I know 4 months ago I was completely lost and had no ecig forum to help me. It took hours and I still managed to screw it up. Maybe even a link to some of our stickys would help on the website

and where the new 13 sec cut off batteries are is so confusing. theres a red battery pictured but it says its pink. Theres a black batt pictured and says its silver. weird.

I don't know store software, but I have always been a fan of drop-downs for options. In this case, color, strength, logos, etc. The 5ml nobacco page takes 15 seconds to just load up now. Not really complaining...I am sure I can manage to make a purchase and get what I want. But not sure about newbies to the site.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the way the e-liquids were coming up now. To a new person this would be so confusing. And it takes the page a lot longer to load up now. I hope they go back to just putting the main item on there and you can choose the mg at the item screen.

And all the New VK batterys that sell for 17.50$ are all autos? When you getting those in Manuals ( single logo too) and what is the difference ? From the other batts selling for 15$......

 

[BakedGoodies]

I read somewhere that soon, someone is going to redo the site to make it more user friendly. It was something Steve said...I just don't remember where I read it.

 

[Nilius]

Hmm, I'm curious about the new battery

 

[Adrenalynn]

They have a programmer, and V4L is always tweaking to improve. I doubt anything we're seeing at this snapshot in time is the be-all-end-all.

 

[dohsma]

I'm just discovering this now. Something is seriously messed up. I'm on it.

 

[onehungwaylow]

i was getting all turned around on the site as well. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Kimmy's right. The one and only weak link in the V4L joyride is the website. The format sometimes changes erratically, and there's some inconsistency throughout. Noticed recently, for instance, that the original Parl blue photo shows a carto in green--thank kind of stuff. I've been sending interested friends and colleagues there and inevitably receive the same response: "I'm totally confused!" I had that response myself the first time.

Well, I'm sure it's all part of the usual growing pains and will be sorted out soon enough, but it does need doing. In fact, I'd suggest that our V4L friends add a clear, concise "instructions and recommendations" page for newcomers so that I don't need to write up cheat sheets for everyone. Good for biz, good for everyone.

Maybe this is the opportunity to fine tune the website? With all the new changes that have been happening, and the new changes to be had very shortly, it's starting to get a little confusing what is being ordered when adding items to cart.

For instance, when I order an auto battery, how will I know if I'm getting the ones with the bigger holes, or the older style that others still like? I know that I could request in the comments, but that just means that if what I originally wanted to order wasn't in, I'd get the other style.

I'm not making a complaint in any way. I'm just agreeing with other opinions I've seen around here that maybe it's time for a redesigning of the layout of the website. I know it's not an easy task to keep up with, esp since it's a live inventory system, but this is the only way that 99% of us order with V4L.

 

[Adrenalynn]

Good for conversion. A trustworthy site is key to conversion - totally with you there!

Mark just noted that he saw now that it'd spit-the-bibby and was on it, so "Woot! Kimmy!"

 

[Kimmy]

All of the current ecig websites are a bit confusing in my opinion. So much terminology, it can be difficult to follow.

Thanks Mark!

 

[dohsma]

Kimmy, that's actually an old battery that had been hidden for a while. We have many SKU's that we no longer use that are "hidden"

 

[dohsma]

OK, everything should be fixed now. If anything still looks funky, please let me know.

 

[Adrenalynn]

And ignore the man behind the curtain... Thanks, Mark! Sunday after an early morning () and still taking care of us!
