Updates to our web store

To improve our online shopping experience, we recently made a few updates to our web store. The goal was to make the web store easier to navigate, allowing you to get to our products more quickly. For the web monkeys out there, this is called improving the usability of a website.

So what's new?

We've added images for all of our products to the Store homepage. This eliminates a click, and allows you to jump directly to each product. We also expanded our sidebar navigation, which saves you another click and also allows for quick access to our product pages.

The final change we made was to move the region select for our store up to the top left of the sidebar. There's nothing more annoying then adding a bunch of items to your cart then realizing you're in the wrong country and having to start over! We're hoping this new layout will help to avoid that problem.

Awards

This is unrelated to our web store, but we also recently added an Awards page to the website. It lists a number of awards SOLE has won over the years for our products. If you're teetering on the edge of purchase, check out the awards section as it might help you make your decision.

All in all, we feel these new updates will really improve the shopping experience. What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment praising or trashing the new store layout below.
