new old website

Punkster has had some serious web problems in the past, messed up "rails" whatever those are, messed up links, messed up orders. its been bad. and i mean real bad.

but it hit its peak the other day when we couldnt even go see what orders had come in to send. now thats bad. so i got to business and emailed our server avlux and asked them what the heck was going on. it wasn't them they figured out, it was us, our site. and seeing as we couldnt talk to our original web designers, see "internet, dating."

so anyway, avlux recommended we talk to this guy greg. i now like to call him "greg the miracle working angel of rails." or "greg" for short. we emailed back and forth for a second, and i wake up today with an entirely workable, working, workee, worked site! feels like Christmas over here. our store locator map is even up! i bet you didn't know we even had one of those guys.

so, now this site is good and better and fine for now, until this new fancy schmancy site gets going in the next month or two. at least orders will go through without our huge time and effort involved.

its interesting about the website, its so important to the vibe and feel and respect of the company. for instance, our site, when i first started was totally high tech, fancy, respectable, made me look like a "real" company. but now that i AMMM a real company, the site looks young and amateur.

we are getting ready to prepare for a big press and sales push, but we are kind of waiting until the site looks better and legit. its all about packaging! and though our packaging is better today then yesterday. its going to be better tomorrow then today, and that is the exciting part.
