Exclamation OK - its my business site but....

I'd still appreciate feedback.

Its Frontpage and its also a pain in the ass.

Let me know what you think and how I can improve it.

Thumbs up

It's simple, but very effective. A little on the plain side, but since people will be more concerned with getting quick access to products, the eye candy isn't needed.

Great ease of navigation, too ... great work

p.s. How about adding OTS to your support links? Hehe jez kidding...

Does Laggy get a commission for hits on the site?

Nothing wrong with your site. I agree with Laggy. Its easy to navigate, quick to use, simple to find stuff. Looks like a million other business sites but that is good because it is what is most effective.

Just got one question, one you may find funny.

When I read your front page, I did a double take when I read "20 years servicing POS systems, printers...."

What does POS stand for?
Do you mean Point of Sales systems or Piece of $hit systems?

I am sure you meant the first, but can quickly be mistaken for the second. I would change it. If I thought the second at first glance, I must wonder how many others might be thinking the same thing and might run away from the business.

LOL ... POS has traditionally stood for Point-Of-Sales ... almost all businesses that keep computerized inventory use that kind of system, so it's a pretty common acronym. I guess younger folks (or folks who haven't worked in a store with a cash register) won't understand point-of-sale...

When I applied for the web job at the wine store a few years ago, the manager was asking me if I had experience with POS systems ... I chuckled and said "yeah, my brother's computer is one" ... he looked confused. It was only after an hour of talking that I finally found out he was referring to point-of-sale ... we both got a good laugh out of it... and I got the job, nevertheless...

My point exactly. I know what Point of Sales meant (worked in a Dept store for 3 years).
However, to see that on a web computer business site does open it up to misinterpretation. I am not a betting man, but I just might bet that it does get misread often by visitors.

Rule #1 in advertising....clarity.

You cannot assume that your customer base will be fully aware of technical terms used in the business world. Only a small % might interpret POS as Point of Sales. Unfortunately POS can stand for other things...things that may have a negative impact on business.
