Agreed. The new site looks good but thats where it ends on the good. Your site used to be great. It looks fancier now but much less user friendly. Get rid of it. Or at least get the category/item list back that used to be on the left side of the page.

I bought something over the weekend and found it very confusing. I had to use my boo's pc to find the item name, then go back to my iPad to order..AFTER i had to make a new account per the instructions. Guess we will all get used to it!

Sad thing is I haven't even looked at the site in a couple weeks, I use to check it every other day. It's like Canada corals the new websites don't make sense to me, by trying to make it sleek and modern it seems more complicated then it needs to be.

Default I have to agree

I have to agree that the new J&L website is not as user friendly as the old one. I also agree with that old saying: if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Although you can search for an item you are specifically looking for. I find myself constantly filling up my basket "browsing" to get Free Shipping, which is now very difficult on the new site.

I have to agree with some other posters here, and I don't frequent the site as much as I used to now.

It definately looks polished and pretty, but practibility and function has been lost :/

I think the old layout was fine, but maybe a fresh coat of paint (while maintaining the same layout) would be awesome.

I actually like the new website, the functionality thats built into it will be awesome once its fully utilized.

As with all new things there will be a few teething problems and changing code takes time and effort as anyone in programming knows.
They are also taking in constructive input and no doubt these changes will be implemented later down the line.

The website has barely been up 3 weeks so give them a chance
