After two years we have finally gotten our web together, so to speak. Our original web site, www.soloperformance.com, written and developed by Chris Hammond Ace DNN developer and core geek, provided excellent search optimization and display, but was not adaptable to selling the entire line of numbers, letters and graphics we started selling after purchasing Solotime.
So, we landed on MonsterCommerce for a website for www.solotime.com. This hosted solution provided unlimited options for each product, important for displaying the graphics that Solotime sells. While we have had considerable success with this website, in the past 6 months it became apparent that Monster's focus had moved from what had attracted us in the first place.
After looking at several solutions, including cart32 provided by friend Ron VerMulm of R&S Racing Fame (Ron is a computer consultant and hosting solution provider in real life) we settled upon 3dCart (www.3dcart.com)
3d has excellent reviews, and provides a good mix of customization and stability and much better Search Engine Optimization and should get us through the next several years until we are ready to have Chris build us a completely custom site.
Finally, on 1-1-08, we should be opening the new www.SoloPerformance.com website, and consolidating www.solotime.com and www.solotime.biz to all point at the main website.
We have also created a product information and support website, http://support.soloperformance.com to house as much information on our products as possible, including product manuals, how to guides, etc.
Happy New Year,
--Dave
