Default Web Site

Just a quick question to HD Members. We are working on updating our web site at D&B Cycles and were wondering what you look for in a web site? What are some of the basic things that get your attention in regrds to being a biker that draw you to look into a site and possible contact them?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your input.

simplicity... quick loading.... easy to navigate.... clearly visible information (like return policy, contact info, shipping info,etc), detailed info for product.... installation PDF's is huge for me, I like to see if something is going to be over my abilities before I commit.

Discount are always a plus. I will make it a point to include some type of area for sales and discounts.
Thank you.

Try to show pic of the prducts on the bikes they fit. A lot of times I won't buy somehing unless I have either seen it on a bike before, or have a good picture of it in their web site. JMO

Pictures on a bike is a great thing if you can manage it!

Making it easy to find items is a must IMO.

(Biker Babes!)
Ahem!
I mean keep it simple and fast loading with clear navigation. No flashy ads (unless it has biker babes in it) and keep the animated gifs down to a few.

Simple, fast loading and informative. (And biker babes) [8D]
