    Revised Website

    My revised website is up, although it remains a work in progress with still more to add. Check it at www.jonestrollingmotor.com It includes current availability on the Ultrex trolling motors as well as other information.

    Also on the main page it appears that the background where the text is in the center is really dark and makes reading difficult. Not sure if you meant to use a different color font or background color.

    Or maybe my browser ??? Just figured I would let you know what I see.

    I don't have Google Chrome, so couldn't test it that way. On Firefox, I have to clear the cache the first time or it's scrambles.

    It's a grey background with a black text. I'll change the text color to white and maybe easier to read.
    Thanks

    John,

    I have a machine that has Chrome, IE10 and 11 and Firefox. All show the site looking substantially the same with no issues on my end.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Changing the background color on the home page to a lighter grey looks much better. Curious why clicking on the MotorGuide button on the home page opens a new tab instead of just taking me to that page on your website.

    I have it set to open a new page with a link is pressed. Pressing the Motorguide button takes you to the Motorguide page of the website, but does open another page. I havn't set the other buttons yet. Also, clicking on trolling motors > Motorguide takes you to the same page, opening a new page. I think I need to change that (opening a new page), otherwise the tabs could start multiplying across the top of the browser.

    Yea you don't want your visitors to end up with a bunch of pages open

    Also google chrome is the number one browser these days so you need to make sure it works with chrome

    Another note: google in all their wisdom as decided to place warnings in their browser anytime they are on a non-secured sever/website (HTTP:)

    You can see this on a lot of websites now buying SSL certificates (HTTPS:)

    I agree, going to the page without opening a new tab is the behavior I find preferable. The depth finder links do the same thing.
