MartyGrass Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'd like to see a bit of background on each model. For example, there could be a story about how the Alex Skolnick came to be or what Henry Johnson wanted in his guitar. I don't want the useless drivel that Gibson supplies at the level of a 15 year old. But some narrative of substance would be appreciated.
Guest HRB853370 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Do they even have a desire to update their site? Many people have voiced that same opinion that the site could be more informative.

bolero Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 it's a heck of a let better than it was!! at least they have big pics of the models, and it's easy to navigate. I'm glad it doesn't need a million plugins to run that said, some notes on the history/design of each model could be good
gpuma Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 It seems like a website from the early 90s but with less informative text. Really.
gnappi Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm glad it doesn't need a million plugins to run + 1 for that! I'm so tired of web designers putting animated crap instead of useful information.
nicknickhall Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 HOC sells more Heritage guitars than the company website?
Gitfiddler Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 HOC sells more Heritage guitars than the company website?Since the vast majority of Heritage guitar sales are to Asia and Europe, your comment cannot be accurate. However, I would strongly agree that the HOC has a major impact on Heritage sales here in the US! Obviously the world's largest Heritage dealer (Wolfe's Guitars) likely sells more than anyone. But who knows what real impact the Heritage website really has on sales? Like many fans of the marque, I'd like to see these guitars be represented properly on a modern, functional website.
davesultra Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 It's better than it was, but would benefit from a bit of an upgrade.
HANGAR18 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Good content is difficult to come by. Difficult as in the old Time=Money equation. I'm guessing that the people at the factory would have to stop making guitars long enough to convey detailed stories and background information to someone who could actually get the information published to the site. And yes, the Heritage web site looks MUCH better now than it did in the 2007 time frame. Back then, looking at the old web site, I considered that they were possibly out of business. The way the Heritage web site is currently set up, it is virtually maintenance free. There is some outdated information and a broken link or two but it conveys the basic, important information in a way that doesn't require a $100/hr web designer to be constantly hovering over it and that in turn saves Heritage some money.
