Default Poll: what Audi tuner has the best website and why?

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and have been hired by a tuner to update their website.

I'm interested in finding out what this crowd likes, and why, to help us create a site that you would love to visit.

Thanks for responses in advance!

I would say something like Avalon's site is nice, just wish it was split into categories more.

ease of navigation is the key, flashy stuff can wait! AWE has a great easy site...

Most tuners I see have pretty good sites in terms of ease of navigation, but Avalon rules for design

Default some guidance...

just keep it simple and easy to navigate...

i have a simple site - but it's highly graphic intensive...not dial-up friendly. make sure the tuner's site is dial-up friendly. [i'm not a tuner or reseller but i know good web design].

avoid funky fonts and wacky colors. stick to basics. don't rip off someone elses tuner site design - come up with your own.

keep in mind that a potential buyer is going to be looking for more information than just the name of the item and it's price. specifically for expensive items - tell the potential buyer as much as possible.

POST prices - i never buy from a site that does not post prices. it's freakin' annoying when you are comparison shopping and it also leaves the buyer with the impression the tuner will sell for whatever the market will bear rather than a fair price. in other words they will "gouge" you like a car salesman.

make sure you beta test your site in all of the available browsers. i won't buy from sites that only work well in IE. and some buyers will never get to see what's on the site if you don't support their browser.

keep in mind the best site design is nothing without the knowledge and service to back up what the tuner is selling.
