Default Web Site Critique / Ideas

With the holiday season coming up, business usually slows down a bit for a
few days. During those times, I like to re-think the web site info I have
out there.

Today, I'm re-thinking an application page we threw up on the site a while
back which seems to work well for us. If you have time and are opinionated
enough to give me your thoughts grin, I'd love to know if you think we
have missed an important application and/or opportunity on the following
link:

http://www.multi-drill.com/multi-spindle-head-apps.htm

Do you know of an application that we could add which would draw customers
to me? How about a different angle on a current application? Etc...

A perfect example is that we just added the page for simple drill press
users... Never thought of the obvious and most common use until now. Duh!

As you will see, we mainly offer the product for manual processes, but I'd
love to hear about ideas from the CNC arena that I haven't thought of yet.
I'll owe a whole lot of you free coffee or drinks when we hit it big. grin
again

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I'm highly opinionated and my time is for rent, Joe. I spotted some
Usability problems right off.

You did ask. I will make the observation that your(potential)customers
don't care about what you make. They care about what they make. Nowhere
on the application page do I see an application. There are pictures of
your products, not what can be done with them. Illustrate that
pot-walloper production was increased 400% by using the Autodrill, using
before and after pictures. Point out the better precision. Show the
devices produced using your machine tools and get the customer thinking
about how it would apply to his situation.

Candles need a hole drilled for the wick?

Ahh... That's not an in-house answerable issue. But a very good point.
Must get follow-up photos if possible and/or info from customers other than
their phone calls.

Large ones do. They apparently drill the three wisk holes, insert the wick
and pour in wax rather than trying to form the entire candle around the
wicks. Shrinkage during the cooling process is a problem or something...
