Need an opinion on a Ford Site...

Lizard King · 03-06-2001, 11:11 PM

My company was awarded a contract to build the website for a local dealership. Essentially I would like to get feedback, bad and good for the site.

We have the contract to service this site for the next 4 years and would like some advice to bring to our next meeting.

I appreciate all comments.

Might I suggest a flash intro page. So far I think the site looks very clean and easy to navigate in. I like the color contrast.

2 things.

- All mustangs illustrated in the site should be GT's (no base six cylinder models with 14" wheels, not that there's anything wrong with that)

- The 2000 models shouldn't be used in 2001 promo's.

To me, it's pretty boring.
A flash intro would help (maybe it's boring to me b/c I have a muscle car one track mind and the site kinda shoves the Mustang in little corner--but then again, it is a Ford page, not Mustang page.)

If it is supposed to stand out from the crowd as a SPECIAL website, it doesn't. It your typical dealer website. Being able to schedule an appointment over the internet is kinda cool though.

Just being honest.

Otherwise, it is clean and neat. Business-like.

So if you have 3 kids, and are looking to get an SUV or minivan... is this site giving you what you want?

Well it seems to look like some of the others with the exception of ; flat background, hazey graphics, stale punch lines that asume the potential buy er is bait rather then a current & returning CLIENT. what im try'n ta say is " id re-visit the site several times b-4 brousing the lots.if only for the good info. this site WILL make for happy$$$$ shoppers. ok ok ok i LIKE IT.
