It is such a generic off the shelf e-commerce site that makes them seem more like a PC servicing business not a big DEC parts shop. It really makes it look like they are a really small firm. Like two people in a office somewhere and a storage locker full of old DEC parts. I'm sure they had a website consultant build it for them. Lots of computer stores don't have a clue how to build a website, and it's easier to hire someone to make one. That someone then builds it from a template that makes it look like any other e-commerce site (as you described). Two people in an office somewhere and a storage locker (or warehouse, more likely) of computer parts is probably exactly what it is; you don't need a whole lot of staff to do what they do, and they do it fairly well. This website was poorly done; the designer did not even allow for the copyright year to be updated! You are correct, most computer parts dealers have no clue about websites. JT Components is about 5 hours from me, and I have dealt with them for years. They are honest people who seem to know what they are doing. Cindy ----- No virus found in this message.
