And it's full of glitches. I just sent them an email cause I was going to order up some stuff tonight but can't be bothered now. This is part of what I sent them:
"I just had to write to let you know the new website design is a disaster. There was no need to change what worked and now I can't use the search - try it yourself... type in Carb Drops and all you'll get is a full page of beer kits with the item I am looking for all the way at the bottom. Same goes for typing in 1056 (wyeast). Not only can I not deal with the poor search results, but once I click an item to go to its page it no longer shows the price!! Add to that it now takes twice as many clicks to get to what I am looking for and it's not laid out in any convenient fashion. To find tubing I had to click Shop -> Brewing -> Equipment -> Racking Equipment -> Tubing. I was going to place an order this evening but am not going to bother, especially because I can't see the prices when I'm on the item page."
I really can't stand when a company changes their site that was working so well for no apparent logical reason whatsoever to something that just doesn't work as good. It seems almost always when a company changes stuff it's for the worst. That's one of the things I like about Google's search engine - after all this time it's still pretty much the same simple page. They did try some new things but wisely removed them when they saw the public reaction.
Anyhow, it's just a website... I'm not fuming mad about it, just annoyed.
