Rea shares her thoughts…
“Not excited about your website. When I want to search for something I don’t want to see a full page explanation of what “Quick Search” is. I want to SEARCH. I think most of us know what SEARCHING is and even if you don’t think we do, we are not going to read a full page explanation of it. ”
BTW I was looking or UNDERPANTS and didn’t find them.
MadeByYankees response:
I’d like to address some of Rea’s concerns. Admittedly, we do have a lot of “text” on our sites about searching. There are several reasons for this. One reason is that our demographics include veterans. We firmly believe that veterans are extremely patriotic and would find this resource useful. Right or wrong I’ve associated veterans as a group of people slightly disadvantaged as they have not had regular access to computers as have all the X’s and Y’s. There for we do provide additional information to help them navigate.
Second, our site is rather unique with respect to searching. We have a database for which confirmed made in usa consumer products are listed. We have a blog where searches are necessary to find information where products do not fit firmly into the 100% made in usa category. And last we have two search functions that to my knowledge no other website has. Those are consolidated google searches. The allow visitors to search MANY e-tail websites for a product at one time.
We feel that more information is better than less. For those who are experienced with searches feel free to ignore the information. On the other hand perhaps we could consider a “Beginner” page.
With regard to not finding underpants. The database is growing and it increases as we research products. The priority of product research is directly related to requests that we get from this blog. If Rea is looking for underpants, then the research for underpants will commence!
Andy, thanks for getting us started at American Apparel Women’s Panties
