Re: mis website issues

i agree it's an extremely confusing, poorly designed, helter-skelter 
website. i've mentioned it to them but they've paid no heed. i called 
them recently and even their own reps are confused. you'd think they 
would be able to guide you to the right products. instead they just 
get exasperated if you ask them too many questions.

not a smooth purchasing workflow at all. too many hurdles and 
friction points for the consumer. products are scattered all over 
creation so buying experience turns into a frustrating scavenger hunt 
nightmare. they're putting too much of the onus on the consumer to 
figure it all out. there's no logical product placement and no 
separation of products from solutions (i.e., roark).

clearly they don't have a cohesive sales & marketing plan to properly 
route buying traffic towards the shopping cart (like aisles in a 
grocery store). on top of it all, they don't even seem to care that 
they've lost sales. oh well...
