This is a very clever solution to a problem I've experienced in gearbox designs. Kudos on this one Andy!

Re: AndyMark alert! Interesting new stuff

Great new designs Andy!

I noticed on page 4 of the Toughbox Mini report, there is a list of the optional gear ratios available for both gearboxes. Included in this list is a 10.71:1 gear reduction. However, that option isn't listed on the Toughbox page and the optional parts are not yet available on the website. Is this something that will be available soon?

Re: AndyMark alert! Interesting new stuff

Speaking of new stuff, AndyMark has a new website.

For the past 6 years, we have been using a yahoo e-commerce solution that met our needs very well. As we grew, the yahoo site handled our traffic fairly well, but we needed more capability and value. So, we did a study this summer (led by Operations Engineer Brant Bowen) and found a great solution with Volusion.

We are constantly updating the site, finding errors left over from the conversion from the yahoo site. (fixing broken links to pdfs, etc.)

So, if you find anything that needs fixed, or if you have any questions and comments, feel free to send me a PM.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
President

I don't really like the layout. It looks kinda cheap and unprofessional. I'm also not a fan of the magnifying glass when you roll over images on your product description pages. Overall I prefer the old site but I guess thats just because most people don't like change.

Re: AndyMark alert! Interesting new stuff

I have to respectfully disagree with PerpetualMotion...I think the new site is great Andy. Key links easily found on the home page, one or two step clicks to the products and information you want, efficient layout and the magnifier is a huge help to us older mentors who can never remember where we put our reading glasses!

I haven't used the old AndyMark site, so I can't comment on how improved or degraded it looks, but I think it's good. Easy to find what you need (categories on left, key links up top, etc). The color scheme isn't rough on the eyes, and while the magnifying images may be a bit irritating, the site functions well and as expected.

Re: AndyMark alert! Interesting new stuff

The one thing I like less is the product page layouts.

I liked the way they were tiled as opposed to listed. I think mainly because the thumbnail was bigger and it was easier to visually identify what you were looking for. Also for the pages that have menus to bring you to the section of that category for a specific product type, it would be nice if the menu stayed at the top when you navigate to the sub-page, so that you can click a different product type without going back in your browser.

Re: AndyMark alert! Interesting new stuff

The main complaint I have is that clicking a wheel page shows you a big picture... of tread. There's no general picture of "here's what this kind of wheel looks like". It would be cool if for the Plaction and Performance wheel pages, it had a picture of all 3 sizes stacked up together.

@Eric: There was a picture on the old website, basically it looked like a Toughbox Mini but a little smaller.
