WHy do the majority of vendor websites suck ***.

I can never find the information im looking for.

Th emajority of them a filled with nothing but dead links and the rest are built in flash that look and navigate liek ****.
Why would a vendor build their site in flash when html would be so much easier to organize and update.
WTF!?!/!

sorry.

e-commerce is not yet well developed... most vendors will just cut and paste a tidbit of info from the manufacturer site.

the reason my site links to the manufactures is there is so many products and if we where to keep updateing with the new product we would not have time to work on any cars, so we let the manufacture do all that for us

and thats the best way to do it... who better to answer questions about a product then the people making the product??

personally I hate sites using Flash it's such a PITA

simple HTML is all it takes
