Default NEW Api web site - thoughts?

As above - comments please; especially re the 'mouse car' on 'Parts & Accessories' and 'Special Offers'.

It will continue to change and improve we believe, over the next few weeks.

Good design, works well, does not need plugins

Only downside is seeing how much the classic shape now goes for ;-)

The front page doesn't make any sense to me - index2 and index3 look the same to me. Confusing!

Nice one David - reckon though that you should utilise the positive customer comments for your service and products. Plenty of good press out there, so use it for the people maybe have never heard of API, and give them a feel good factor about the company.

All the best,
Mark

Oh!! That's my favourite bit........ sorry mate, wait till you hear it with noise though !! You can park the car by the click boxes at the top of those pages if it really annoys you.

Thanks for the comments anyway Rob. if you invite comment you must expect to hear good and bad.

kind regards David APi Engines / APi lmpreza

Andy, Done deliberately that way Sir, we don't encourage out of hours visitors if you get my drift. A quck phone call if you want something and we'll advise you then how to find us. We're a bit off the beaten track and we prefer it that way.

David APi Engines / APi Impreza

PS; SB; The web guy is a non car person we'll change the Tommy to Tommi as soon I can get him on the phone AM tomorrow. Thanks we'd missed that.

PPS; Butty; We're still working on the special offers deals, I hear what you sayabout POA, the difficulty is that sometimes we have more than one of, or more than one set of and the pricing reflects where and how it came to us. I suppose we could put from but even that isn't really satisfactory.

Site is looking good. I thought you guys only did engine rebuilds from the old one.

Was expecting to see alot more parts for sale.

No info given about the mudflaps just a photos. Do they come with brackets and how much?

Ray

Nice to meet you at the Cov meet
