New website features

15 March 2010

You may have noticed that we have had the site updated. There have been quite a few changes and some more planned as the developers add in the finishing touches - thank you.

So what is new?

1. Freight discounts.
   Finally a system that works out freight discounts on the fly. Discounts are applied to the freight component for multiple orders (the savings is equal to 20% off total freight for 2 boards, and 50% off total freight for 3 or more boards).
2. Add-on options.
   We discovered that we have the ability to offer some excellent extras and have them ship for free (with the purchase of a board), so we have created an extra area.
3. Secure Payment options.
   We now offer 3 payment processes; manual transaction (bank deposits), credit card (visa and Master Card), and PayPal.
4. Sign up / Create an account.
   If you do this the site will remember where you are from and automatically show you the prices that match the country that you live in. Being a member also has the benefit of being part of the community and asking questions and giving feedback with other CA riders.

Other benefits of the changes to the site includes;

1. How to order and FAQ's
   There is a FAQ area on the right side when you are looking at the boards, this is there to help you with the most comment questions, and we can add to them so if you have something that you think everyone wants to know ask us to add it. including : a common question "Can I make a deposit and pay the rest before delivery?" ... Payment in full is preferred however we do accept deposits of 50% to place the order into production, and the remaining 50% payment before delivery - check out either with the manual or credit card option and let us know what you want to do. The Paypal process is geared up to only take a full payment.
2. Boards up front.
   On the home page, you'll see we have a list of our great boards, you can jump directly from there to view the info about the board.
3. Board line up.
   On the Boards page, we have added in the surf board range as well. We know how people who love to windsurf often want to also have a surf board for when there is swell but no wind - always good to be on the water. Also at the boards page, you can jump directly to the board that you want to view, and see an overview of our range.

... and there is more to come, and should you discover a bug, contact us.

Would you like to comment, then please create a topic on the forum, or reply to one already in discussion. Thank you.
