@blueiiznh Thanks.
@PhiNotPi Roger that. A site selling technology MUST look like it’s not a throwback to the early days of the Web.
@elbanditoroso I bought the OEM version of Windows 8 Pro Full from New Egg to put on a system I built up. It ran for a week, then suddenly started throwing error messages when I tried to launch any application. It said the app. could not run because there had been a side-by-side error. I looked it up on Slash Dot. I found a reference there, but following that advice led nowhere. New Egg support was no help, nor was Microsoft. So I returned it for refund. The RMA New Egg issued promised that. Nonetheless, 2 weeks after returning it, they entered an order for a new copy for me. I cancelled that and after waiting over a month with no refund, I filed a chargeback against them. At least they haven’t contested it, and that did get me my money back.
TigerDirect has always given me good service. But I understand all the retailers are fighting to stuff Win 8 down consumers’ throats because the OS is still full of bugs and deficiencies, and Microsoft is refusing to refund on it.
@Pachyderm_In_The_Room I’m not interested in finding a good vendor, I’m interested in identifying websites that LOOK like they would be good vendors. One of the sites listed is looking to me to do over their site and boost their conversion rate and SEO. Since Google’s Panda and Penguin updates, the look of a site means far more to SEO than a bunch of backlinks in sites that are nothing more than links lists.
@gorillapaws Thanks. Great list of design objectives.
