Why do so many gun shops have shitty goddamn websites? Why do

Geriatric fuckstains don't know how to UI

It's the same in south florida.

A friend of mine keeps saying that he should learn web design and just make functional websites for gun stores.
Do this and you'll be making bank.

What really makes me mad is when they don't even have one.

>>30355764
Because nothing will deter an american from buying a gun he wants.

The neckbeards you associate with might be, but most lean arying degrees of left thanks to being conditioned by the 2000's internet.

Even your lolbertarian friends probably vote democrat because muh internet freedums.

Because the skillset that makes you good at running a gun store does not overlap with the one that makes you good at running a web site.

This problem, by the way, is not unique to gun stores.

Did you really need to have this explained to you?

Because most small businesses have shit websites?
You expect them to keep track of inventory like newegg or something? That's all they'd be doing is updating/managing that mess of inventory.
I'd like it if they'd just take and post a few pictures of their inventory on the wall every few weeks, just upload to photobucket/imgur album and link it for all I care, if that's easier.

Have you ever haggled with a gun shop owner? They have shit website because they won't pay for good ones.

Reminder that good user design isn't something that can be taught and has only minor overlap with web development and programming.

Armslist's UI used to be simple and usable, like Craigslist, but then a few months ago they decided to go all "Web 2.0" and make it all worse.

the power search option still exists but you need to manually type it in

>>30361154
No shit? That's fuckin gay.

Really, every website should be Craigslist. Or an anonymous imageboard. Everything else should be purged.

They shitty quality of the sites is representative of the shitty quality of most gun shops

I hate it when local shops use a Gearfire website then I go in thinking they have something in their inventory that they don't.
