New Website

Post by Bill T »

Hello all,

I have been asked a lot of times do you have a website. Well much like building a bamboo rod in the beginning this was an intimidating task for me. Much like building cane rods I decided that it wouldn't get done if I didn't "just do it". Anyway I will post address below. I would appreciate anyone interested to take a look and give me some feedback.

Thanks for your help!
Bill

Bill, I checked out your new website. Nicely done. Neat and concise.

Hi Bill,

Nice website! Lot's of useful info and beautiful simple layout. I struggled with our website at first too but as I got comfortable with it I grew to actually enjoy it. The interaction with customers and ease of communication of a website will make it enjoyable for you too I'm sure.

Pretty nice Bill.

I always love the story behind why a maker got into bamboo. I guess you wish you asked that question a few hours earlier!

Nice looking layout!
Good job.

Bill, not sure if you'll remember, but we met a number of years ago through my Dad, Craig in the parking lot of the Run in Boiling Springs. I was just getting into bamboo back then and we chatted awhile about rods and such. I think this was just before you moved out of the area.

Anyway, your site looks great and you'll be happy to know, my bamboo addiction is coming along quite nicely. :D

The cork reel seat bands are actually metal rings with cork overlay.

Hi Bill,
Your website really looks nice. I’m sure you’re looking for some constructive feedback and not just a bunch of kudos (i.e. groupthink).
One thing that you may wish to consider is adding some links to your used equipment page that take folks to maybe good places where they can see new/different/unique equipment. Though this may take some clientele away from the site, it will also likely begin to drive new and different business your way.
My two cents worth, Christopher
