Alan Stewart Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 We are pleased to announce the unveiling of a brand new website which we hope will serve us for many years to come. We are still in the process of adding all of our kit options for our designs and that will take a few weeks but since we're already way ahead of the old site we decided to go ahead and make the switch! So, what is the same? Same url. www.bandbyachtdesigns.com/ Same simple to navigate format. Links to forum, you-tube, classifieds That's about it actually. What is different? Some of the new features of the site that we are so pleased to offer all of our valued family of builders. Search the whole site by keyword. Results show products AND articles. Create an account and purchase our products! Imagine that! See current pricing and availability. Imagine that?! New products coming soon section. Buy a gift certificate they make great gifts!!!! Articles and easy to search blog posts. Frequently asked questions section. (ongoing) Upcoming events calendar and new easy to navigate events signup page. Archive of links to builders build logs for all of our designs (this will be an ongoing project) feel free to send us links to your thread so we can add them! Easy to navigate stream of B&B Past projects. Testimonials (send us yours!) B&B has also jumped on-board the Amazon affiliate program band wagon and you will see affiliate products throughout the products categories of the new site. If you use these links to buy a product on Amazon you pay the exact same price! BUT B&B might earn a small commission. It's a win win. If you are not a fan of Amazon then just ignore these. I wish we could stock everything. Unfortunately we just can't but we CAN still find you some good deals. 1 Quote
Dale Niemann Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 Alan, Not sure what this means, but here is copy of screen I got when I tried to go to sailboats and clicked on 17'. I always use Firefox. Maybe you need to do something special for Firefox. dale Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to bandbyachtdesigns.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. What can you do about it? The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem. Quote
Designer Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 I got the same results using Chrome. I found that if I click on advanced, it brings up a new page which gives you the choice to proceed if you dare. As I know that it is safe, I clicked and the site came up. Obviously something that needs to be solved. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted February 9, 2020 Author Report Posted February 9, 2020 Dale, Thank you for letting me know. The new site comes with a site wide SSL certificate (the thing at the beginning of the url that says https) but it is still "pending" on our domain since we just switched it. I expect this to resolve itself the next 24 hours. Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 Great news! Looking forward to trying it out! How about adding my build log for the CS 17 Mk 2. Maybe my modified Jessy 15. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted February 9, 2020 Author Report Posted February 9, 2020 Chick, Thanks for the reminder. Yeah there are lots and lots of logs i'll have to add over time. Dale, a quick call to customer service and I was able to get the SSL certificate pushed through. No more warnings! Quote
Jknight611 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 I am jealous.....I didn’t have an issue with security on a iPad. I did use the links at the bottom and they went though. But now it goes back the original page. Quote
Steve W Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 It looks really great. I noticed on the Spindrift page the two Suzy J vids aren't linked right. I will say that Google puts a high premium on mobile (phone) friendly content and your new site is so much better. Nice job! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsGBPCLJ3OM Quote
Alan Stewart Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Posted February 10, 2020 Thanks Steve for that heads up! I think i got the Spindrift page looking a lot better at least for now. We'll be adding the kit options soon. https://bandbyachtdesigns.com/spindrift 11 hours ago, Steve W said: It looks really great.

Mike Vacanti Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 On the CS 20 page there is descriptive text but the pictures being referred to don't show up. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Posted February 12, 2020 Mike, Thanks for the heads up. I'll be correcting this soon. Some of the images slipped through the cracks. Quote
