LOR Staff Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I had a customer who expressed that the page is confusing, but I personally don't see it. That is not saying that the page isn't confusing -- Sometimes when you are so close to something you become blind as to what you are actually looking at (See: http://cgiss.boisestate.edu/~billc/Writing/proof.pdf ) Pop quiz!!!!

tomsusie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Did not appear confusing to me now or when I ordered this a couple years ago.1.) everything included is clearly indicated2.) it does state a 16 channel AC Controller is included in the package for $569.953.) it does show options for adding additional controllers and the additional cost. As well as the additional cost if a Plug-n Show card was added4.) It does not show what the cost would be without any controllers but then it shouldn't since it is a start-up package which would require at least one controller. Don't see what the problems is personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, I think it's about as straight forward as any online ordering site can be. Only thing I possibly see that might be confusing is the STC-Starter. If they are not familiar with LOR lingo, might spell out ShowTime Central... Forum, Mike is just trying to see if any of us will finish out of the cart after playing with it. Good way to increase sales.. Mike, And if they were looking where to insert their Gold Membership number, it doesn't show on this screen. (Sorry - Just couldn't let it go unsaid when everyone is thinking it.) Edited June 19, 2015 by Mega Arch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Lambert Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That first link is broken. The only thing I see that is not clearly stated is the fact that if your not using the optional SD card then your PC will need to be connected for the show to run.Plus as previously mentioned there is no option for no controller.

Dcroc Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 As a 2nd year noob, I remember when I knew nothing about this, and EVERYTHING was confusing. I'm actually pretty tech savy, and have been building/programming computers since '82. However, this was somewhat overwhelming when I first started looking into it. I certainly had that "I can't do this" panic rush (which I actually enjoy). I would imagine that this is pretty common among newbies looking for their first steps into this, and when help is sought from the experts, "dumbing down" to the noob level can get frustrating. ( I mean no offense by the term "dumbing down", I am just short on a better term for limited to no knowledge on the matter). Must be pretty rewarding to see all the noobs get it when they do get it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Fixed. Thanks! That first link is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. M. Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think it is fine. The only thing that is confusing is having the options in the middle of the actual package. I would consider moving those two images to the bottom of the description. I might consider adding a bold optional title also. The eye is drawn to the picture and not wording that is in the picture. With these changes, that problem would be eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
