After years of subjecting everyone to NOT-SO-GOOD web-design the end has come! With new ownership comes a fresh new website!

We have it 1/2 way complete and should have the rest of it done by the end of next week. A ton of pictures have to be added as well as verbage and we will also be adding our shopping cart to make shopping a breeze.

We have also added a "Twisted AutoBuffs Blog" so everyone can keep up with our specials and be aware of upcoming shows and AutoBuffs events. We want to hear from our friends so tell us, WHAT DO YOU THINK SO FAR?

Site looks nice. I checked out your powder coating section and there are no pictures of powder coated items. It would be nice to see some. I realize it is a work in progress though.

Hi John -

Nice design, I like the graphics etc.

A couple of comments -

1 - I don't care for audio that starts automatically on a page - many times I am online at night in the house and I really do not like it when a page starts blasting audio unexpectedly. It is best to leave the choice to the customer and let them turn it on if they want, with the default setting off.

2 - In IE, on the pop-up CSS menus, when you roll onto the selected item, the in-focus color of the item is the same as the background, so right now it disappears (the link still works...) This is ok in google chrome since the google implementation of CSS is cludgy.

3 - when you click on one of the "shop" items, the pop-up menu panel is displayed down below the main body of the page, then when you scroll up and back down the menu disappears - you are left with only the navigation options along the top.

I did see that you are only 1/2 done with the page. Looks like you are very well on your way - nice work!

best regards -

mqqn

They are Iforged classics and can be purchased through us as we are the premier Iforged dealer on the Forum. All of the cars on the home page are customers, friends or cars that Autobuffs owns.

Give us a call if you need anything.

You will be able to hit the esc key to disable the music when the site is working 100%

I will look into thie IE, problem but just looked and I dont see the problems your described.

The navigation problem you described will be corrected when the site is 100%

Thanks for the suggestions my friend
