Last time I spoke with Kevin Reylek, he mentioned there were some things on the horizon.  But I think he may have downplayed it a bit!

Does anyone have access to the new site? Whenever I hit up The Blue Crown, I see their old layout, with no new deck, products, or features.

Just checked the website and it's the new version for me. I like the redesign because the old site's header links weren't aligned right on my browser (probably because of my zoom) even though it wasn't a big deal. The Altruism deck is now available and a poster of "Keep Calm And Shuffle On" done in the style of the WW2 poster is something I haven't seen before. Also, there's a link to a teaser page called "Luxury".

The new version is nice, but it needs tweaking.  On some pages the font vanishes into the background (same color).  And what happened to the selection?  It's as if half the merchandise got lost in the move from one site to the other, like the moving truck hit a bump and the rear gate opened...  I hear it happens on the dock all the time, especially the ones with the big guys in the black pinstripe suits and the Noo Yawk accents...

I finally am able to see the new site now, and I have to say it has overcome a great remodel. However, I do not see the "new features" they mentioned. Sure, they have a little selection for Contests, Sunday Brunch, and the "Behind-the-Scenes" deal, but what happened to the free magic they talked about?

Hey guys!  We welcome all of your feedback on the new site!

As with any major relaunch (back-end and front-end) there are bound to be a few glitches.  All of the new products and Altruism decks have been fully up and ready for purchase since the relaunch.  Some of the older products will just need another day or 2 to finish porting over from the old site.  Most of the items that you see missing from the site are items that are either sold out or discontinued.

As sold out items come back in stock, they'll be re-added to the new site.  Of course, we're already finding small cosmetic things here and there that will get a fine-tuning.  Overall, we're very happy with the new look!

As for the new features, allow me to elaborate!

Free from AP - This is a new feature for our newsletter subscribers.  Each month, all subscribers will receive a free video download from Alex Pandrea with tricks/tips/subtleties/etc.  All you need to do is subscribe!  The first one of these will be going out in the next couple of days.

The Blue Crown Brunch - Every Sunday we'll offer killer deals!  This could be something like a crazy sale on a particular product or deck. It might be a selection of signed items.  Or it could be a small amount of a product that we don't usually have on our shelves.  Brunch deals will only last for a few hours each Sunday, so make sure you check in every week!

The Blue Crown Backstage - This is our new weekly web show, where you get to see a bit of what goes on behind the scenes.  We might show some product sneak peeks, have an artist teach a trick, etc.

Thanks, and if you have any problems with the site, questions, etc, please direct them to info@thebluecrown.com and we'll get you taken care of ASAP!!
