Check out our friend's new site at www.OldGuysRule.com.

It's pretty content-rich, with a blog and gallery.

And some shirts for sale, of course.

Did you design the site? Looks pretty clean.

 

[sackwear.com]

Yes, we did it. Thanks.

I should say that we knowingly did not put t-shirts on the homepage, contrary to our own site and what we all know to be instinct. Our friend/client wants to create a site that has more of a community feel, as Old Guys Rule is already a pretty well-known brand in the U.S. (West Coast, mostly). He also wants to honor his retail partners and not just be a straight-up "buy a t-shirt" pitch from the first moment on the site.

So what looks like a glaring mistake is really an intentional softer sell.

i think the site is awesome, and the t shirts are awesome. i love the banner picture of the guys in front of the surfboard. how are the shirts made? screen print? transfer?

are you making the shirts for them?

So were you posting just to show off the site, or were you looking for feedback?

 

[sackwear.com]

Rodney - yes to both. The site is a little different so I thought I'd see what comments it got.

BurnTees - thanks for your comments. We are not making the shirts for them. And they are screen printed, front and back.

I figured as much...the site is pretty freakin' flawless

I like the header with the guys as well, but I might try to figure out a way to bring the content up higher above the fold and maybe make the font bigger and links more evident (you know, easier for old guys to read

Very nice! I love the main pic of the surfers.

Those are some of the coolest T-Shirt designs I've seen. I love it!

Nice job on the site.
