We have been very busy here on the website over the past couple of months. In April we started the process of overhauling the website and then we launched the changes at the end of April. I believe all the changes were long over-doo, some of the changes included completely re-designing the user interface, upgrading our version IP.Board, converting Coppermine gallery over to IP.Gallery, converting a custom download module over to IP.Download, adding IP.Blog for those who are part of SDSB Owner's Club and a lot of other tweaks here and there.
In May we created a new Vendor Directory and have been focusing heavily on improving our relationships with current and new vendors in effort to bring more benefits to the members of the website. For example a percentage off orders or free shipping on orders, we have recently added quite a bit of new vendors and are working daily to add more.
Our next efforts are trying to find ways to encourage more member involvement and find ways to give back outside our community. We have tried something new called "TipJoy" that will allow supporters of the website to make a "tip" (donation), all "tips" we receive will be donated to an official charity. Another thing we will be trying in the upcoming months is contests or sweepstakes that hopefully will also encourage more member involvement, we will possibly be giving away subscriptions to our SDSB Owner's Club or some of our Gear.
Why all the changes you ask? We do have competitors out there such as SeaDooForum.com and JetBoating.net so we know our members have alternatives but as our mission says "The official website for the SeaDoo Sport Boat enthusiast."; we value every member so we hold to this very dearly and stand by our mission!
Kind regards,
