Love the new web site

I was looking all over the site today as well. I wanted to tell someone about it, how long the business has been around... but there was nothing there. The old site had an About Us page of some sort but I don't think they transferred the information over.

Knew I saw it somewhere recently
Under brands, go to Shlobster ... I know, strange place for it to have landed.
I'll let Jeff know.

Good find. That was a very odd place to put it. An explanation that Schlobster is their in-house brand like Kirkland is Costco's would be more appropriate. Somewhere under Company Information at the bottom of the site would be a better place for whats there.

I am not to happy with the execution of the new J&L website using Magento as the ecommerce solution. I think to benchmark it , other sites say like NCIX (proprietary system ) and their offshoots ( eg Bestdirect, but uses off shelf solution ) uses other options which would have been easier and nicer to do. ( eg Sunshop)... I know there are thousands of products to enter and enter it with dozens of fields but the outer looks could be improved or look at other ecommerce solutions. Marinedepots site is pretty good, but again, it is proprietary and they have the staff to do it... i would have done more study to see what is out there instead of magento.

Indeed! Looks like our old "about us" information was used as the brand description for Shlobster, and we just skipped having an "about us" section on the site. I've asked for an "about us" section to be placed in the "Company Information" section.
