Making of a Raspberry Blonde Ale!

The Hop Dawgs website has been in desperate need of an overhaul for the past few years as feature become obsolete or broken. We've been researching the pros and cons of all the options available to us and then took the plunge last year. We initially tried the easiest route, which was updating to a newer version of our current platform. Simply export our products, load the new platform, tweak a template and then import the products back in, Easy Peasy. So we contracted out the job to someone who'd done some work on our site in the years past. We paid the contractor half the amount up front to get the ball rolling and after a few weeks they got us a rough sandbox to play in. We were really excited at this point and sent a few emails with changes and questions but those have fallen on deaf ears, leaving us back at square one. After weighing the pros and cons again, we decided to move to a whole new platform that would give us the control to make the website into what we want it to be... simple, straight-forward and support mobile devices. As we are writing this, the conversion is probably around 30% of the way there. Most of what remaining is importing all the products (man we have a lot!) and then running it through test paces to confirm it's calculating everything the way it should. We've linked the shipping to our Canada Post account to pass along our volume discount directly to you. PayPal will still be used to handle our transactions as they are secure and reliable. We hope to hear your opinion and how we can make the site fit for home brewers! We see it being an active website for the first while, hopefully getting better with every change. Cheers!
