Best Manufacturer's Website Features


What features do you like to see when you visit audio or video manufacturer's website?

Many Audiogon members spend a lot of time looking at manufacturer's websites. Hear is a post to list those features that you would like to see on ALL manufacturer's websites. Maybe we'll get lucky and a few manufacturers will actually look at this post.

Here's my list:

Essential features
* Suggested retail prices for ALL products
* An accurate list of dealers and what part of the line each one carries
* Links to the dealer's website if they have one
* Multiple view pictures of all of the products for sale
* Full Technical Specifications for all products

Optional, but nice features
* PDF versions of the owner's manuals
* Information on discontinued products
* PDF versions of the product brochures

Well, one of the first things I can think of is a site that's STOOPID. That's the Synergistic Research Soft Core Porn site. Geez, why can't some guys ever get out of junior high school?!

As for what makes a good site, I want to know about the PRODUCT--specs. Gimme specs. However, I also seem to be drawn to companies that present a consistent and clear vision of their product. VTL, Manley, Cary, PS Audio come to mind. From jump, those sites seem to let you know what's what. I also like sites that have lots of info about their older products. Pass Labs and CJ are really good about this.
