new pipes for sale

I hope this isn't too direct or offensive, but as a professional in IT services, your website really hurts my eyes...

If you want to make pipes full time and thus sell them easily, you might want to hire someone or use a predesigned package to have a decent looking website. A bad website means people leave it FAST.

In my case for example: I love browsing pipe makers websites and their galleries, but I never made it to your gallery. Clicked away from the site after a half a minute because it was so hard to oversee and read.

There's a section called "Pipes for Sale." He posted the right information in the right place. Can't blame the guy for that. :thumbsup:

I'm definitely no IT pro, but it didn't bother me at all.

I think Bob was implying that folks on this forum do not buy pipes, because they can make them... But there does seem to be quite a few buyers lurking here as well.

Hell, I thought his site looked pretty good....which got me thinking, my site looks even worse! Maybe I should hire Massis as my web consultant! :lol:

Didn't we all.

Pull up a chair, load a shop pipe, and hang out a bit, LaytonPipes. I think you'd be a welcome addition to the conversations that happen here. We do Google+ hangouts on Friday nights too if you're interested and capable.

Don't let Uberhu Berman suck you into that. It never actually happens. In the meantime, Sergey Brin pays him a dollar for every sign-up.

Rightly so, but there are quite a few decent free tools available as well, like wordpress for example.

Give Layton a break. He is a good guy, has a great passion for pipe making, and is honorable.
