    Re: Dear Burton Web Team

    burton needs  to get a couple things figured out

    people come to your website to check out gear, not to try to be sucked into burton lifestyle.com. burton has sadly lacked in the product descriptions for years now. i know you guys pay marketing teams big bucks but its time to check yourself. if i want to check out the easy living board i want pics, actual real lif pics of what it looks like. i want a decription of what features it has and why, i don't want a list of features i click on and go to a whole new page. explain the rationale and design of the product to me in terms that aren't just fluff and designed to be vaguely appealing to everyone

    same with the softgoods and packs, show me what its all about, show me the features, don't just give them a marketing name and list them off to the side, testicool vent? neat, what does it look like? explain things more in detail right on the product page.

    tone the site down, you're not the worlds #1snowboard company because you have the biggest most flashy fucking website, make it more down to earth and gritty, you have a website built to appeal to the caviar crowd but market your gear to 15 year olds. get more real. i don't think you guys should ape rome but rome is killing you guys on explaining their tech features. i don't want to see JJones acting like a politician, just explain rocker vs camber in good old plain english tech stories

    these last two kinds of feedback are just what we need - thanks for taking the trouble to give DETAILS!

    if everyone who just wrote "your new site blows" took a few more minutes to elaborate, we'd know a lot better what we can do better.

    jbgoode:
    at least it has less flash than last year.

    i agree that flash should be used sparingly.

    but...how do i say this nicely?  there are a variety of views internally about what constitutes "sparingly."  i'm going to have to leave it at that.


    I got your back JB. From one web guy to another, I know how it works.

    Management: oh check out this stie. It's got glowing lights in the background. Can we make our site like this?

    You: But it will take up a lot of bandwidth

    Management: What's bandwidth?


    If I ever meet Jake Burton, I will tell him Flash ruins snowboarding.

    BIG +1 Way too much focus on trying to be cool and not enough emphasis on explaining what the technology is and what it does for riding.

    Re: Dear Burton Web Team

    I'm new. How the heck to you post a question on here. I see lots of posts to read but nowhere to post one

    Re: Dear Burton Web Team

    Click where it says Burton Snowboards Community near the top of the page, but under your avatar.

    From there, go to the lodge, or wherever your question would be appropriate (boards, bindings, boots, etc.)

    On the right side of the screen, there will a box that says New Post.

    Enjoy.
