The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"

can anyone explain the web site https://www.underwoodhifi.com/

?

@mlsstl 

the colors, the design, the logic, the missing info, the lack of structure, the redundancy, all that. I am not asking for much, just the minimum of consistency and transparency. 

@mlsstl

let’s focus on the facts:

this is an online retail store

let’s put aside the design.

the content and the menus look like a botched middle school project from 1997. I am no web design guru, but I’ve built a lot of web sites, it’s literally less than a day for a student to put together a site like this, in a user friendly format.

The lack of any standards, structure, navigation, formatting is astounding.

But you are right, if customers are OK with this, why change it.

One more thing: I purchased from them, a pair of LSA speakers. It was far worse than any other speaker I tried and for far more money than the competition in the same category. So for me, it does not add up. The money they save on design ($300 to be generous) does not manifest in added value for the customer.

And that’s what tricked me, originally, I thought they their products must be so good, so outstanding that they can afford to not care about the web site. I was wrong.

good learning experience

No I didn't but let me clarify it for you. (although I spelled it out "the content and the menus")

design - I meant the look of any page - without touching it. In a web site, everything is "designed". What I talked about was not the LOOK but the content, structure,  navigation and consistency. So again, I didn't say a word about background, colors, fonts, images, all that. I wouldn't know where to start.

I had a lot more problem with the speakers than a wrote about. I went very easy on them by keeping it to what I said. They were scratched, (and the slightest touch would scratch them more) I couldn't return them, I sold them for less than half what I paid after a few months of trying everywhere and getting lowball offers. I lost 800 dollars. 

But again, you are right, they may have been fantastic speakers in another room, another amp, etc.

yes, when I wrote "online retailer" I thought: "and you can’t click on anything to buy it", you have to call and email your info and then wait for an email that arrives a day later that doesn’t confirm anything and then wait for an invoice, in the mail, a week later, separate from the shipment, another 3 days later, a very convoluted and scary process compared with ordering from a web site with clear instructions about the process, step by step, and complete transparency.
