New website!

We finally have our new website: blastersmiths.co.uk MkII went live on Monday afternoon here in the UK. We're rather happy with all the new functions it offers and even more happy that it's out of the way and we can start devoting our Development Fridays to actual tactical equipment and not just infrastructure.

The main cool thing about the website (damn, I sound 13!) is the custom buttons. You'll notice those nice white buttons that light up allowing you to select your choices for your gear. For things like our Lightweight Shoulder Rigs where you can make hard point selections, these buttons are ideal. It also looks kind of Star Trek with all those rounded edges and bright lights. :)

Anyway, we've got most of our catalogue on there now with fully integrated international shipping so our international friends no longer have to worry about contacting us for a shipping quote. Steve, our exceptionally talented Operations Director, led an effort to code a full calculator for our website and it works wonderfully! It even calculates VAT correctly so US (and other non-EU) customers can expect to pay 20% less than the list price (provided you don't get stung with import duty and local taxes, of course).

So yes, go and peruse our latest creation and order things so that we may serve. In the mean time, we're going back to real development. Trust me, we've got some special things lined up in the months. :D
