Comments to High Performer: Pasty.com Sells Meal In A Crust2008-02-26T16:09:33-07:00Practical Ecommerceinfo@practicalecommerce.comhttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/Copyright 2007 Confluence Publishing DBA Practical EcommercePetsRighthttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment69082008-02-26T16:09:33-07:00@Ray S.
My comments weren't made on the basis of strictly marketing pasties. My comments come from a design and usability point of view. Sure the site provides a lot of different information but it is organized in such a way in that it is confusing and overwhelming to someone first visiting the site.
The information could be presented in a way which is much easier to follow compared to how it is displayed now. Sure they're the only game in town.. but I wonder how many orders they lose to casual browsers who stumble on the site through a search engine who aren't able to make heads and tails of what the heck is going on.
A redesign with focus on the usability issues would probably increase their bottom line even more.mdolsonhttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment68772008-02-24T00:51:19-07:00What pasty.com is more than just a web site to order pasties. the businesses on the side are all in the area it shows what they are. A bit of advertising since that is all that is really there as for jobs. if you click on the picture in the middle it opens up that weeks worth of pictures. you had comments and read others. you can go back 6 or 7 years. these pics are the UP in all its glory. the reason I go back is that to see the pics and also toclick on the large thermometer on the right side of the picture. this allows me to what the total snow fall year to date is so I can laugh at the people in Minnesota and their cryinng about the snowBJYooperhttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment68682008-02-23T14:28:48-07:00It's all about the U.P. connection not just the pasty. I guess you "had to be there" to understand.....and thousands check into this site on a regular basis to "connect".Helenhttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment68702008-02-23T14:28:27-07:00You haven't lived until you have eaten a Pasty! Treat yourself sometime! We Yoopers live in the Upper Peninsula of MI know how to live!Ray S.http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment68712008-02-23T14:28:14-07:00I can understand the comments made from 2/19/2008 if Pasty Central were only about marketing pasties. The site is clearly so much more. It's a history lesson on a daily basis. Photo album of the very special Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Oh, and they also sell pasties.Char Wiitanenhttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment68732008-02-23T14:27:09-07:00We have ordered these pasties and they are just like Mom use to make. We love them...too bad shipping rates are constantly going up around the world. Try one...you won't be disappointed!CuginiFoodshttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment67582008-02-20T05:49:11-07:00I agree. Without the information in this article, I wouldn't even know what a Pasty is. The homepage is very overwhelming. If they do well on reputation alone, imagine what a redesigned site could do for them!PetsRighthttp://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/678/High-Performer-Pastycom-Sells-Meal-In-A-Crust/#comment67182008-02-19T10:27:45-07:00I'm happy for their success but looking at their site is totally confusing. I wonder what kind of grade they would get if they submitted to the SEO Report.
