Red, I didn't know if i still can edit the content in the web...can i also change the photo(s) or put another photos in the web later? Sebastian, I certainly hope that you can edit the content on your website. You will need to add updated pictures, more testemonials etc. as your business grows.I'm sure Scott corrected the pages very detail...i will send you the corrected version though...ok, Scott? That is fine by me Sebastian. There are 51 pages and I went through them pretty rapidly. I would be surprised if there were not some mistakes. I just wanted to get the big errors fixed and get it back to you quickly so you could get it off to your web guy.Other questions: Since it has an order form there, HOW to receive the order page (from every order placed in the form) later - from my side?....Can it be automatically send/receive to...my email?? I think you will have to ask your web designer that question.Is there an exchange rate "program?" in the net which i can "link?" it to my website?..... If so, do you think the "program" is update daily?? As Red said, there are lot's of websites that you could link to thatkeep exchange rates up to date. The bigger problem will be the change in the rates from time of order until you actually build and ship the product.Btw, the web design will be ready today evening, or tomorrow...seb. Let us know when it's up and running so we can check it out. By the way Sebastian, did you make it to the Den Bravo Cup last week?

Hey Scott, you read about "Den Bravo" from the benchrest.com, right?
Nope, i didn't receive either invitation or news before. The "news" (by phone call from a friend) was just one day before the comp, too. Never had practice for some months now, my rifles also kept in the police dept from two months ago. Had no time & practice to attend that comp....it's a pity though! (The events were just positions shooting, Scott....100m "standard" 3 position shooting, 200m moving target, and 300m metal silhouttes). No "br" event.
My nephew (who designs the web) called me this afternoon that he needs a bit more time...maybe tomorrow. It's about 1.3 or so MB "rar?" file.

I'm halfway done making my edits - took about 3 hours. Since there is no real reason to rush this (please tell me if there is), I'll have it to you later in the week.
I've made a lot of changes including grammer, word changes, and bulleted points order. I've kinda "westernized" it and made it sound more "professional" since your customers will be mainly from the US and who take shooting serouis.
Use what you like - word for word if you want. Ignore my changes if you don't like them. It just gives you something to compare if nothing else.

Red, thank you for your effort & time. I really apreciate it. Btw Red....peoples know that english is not my main languange. I'm not so sure if i want the words in the web "very proffesional" etc...just in order they know what i mean, i think. Of course more proffesional english should be better, but those shooters wouldn't blame my english, i believe...*(if they "blame" me on the english, i will ask them to talk with me with Indonesian, or Chinese, or Javanese, or Maduranese languange, lol). So please just make correction on the very important thing such as the payment methode & pricing & order - since that's "sensitive". I just don't feel okay to ask my nephew to revise the words for many times....seb. Red, i need your adress. Scott, can you also send me yours? i forgot if i still have your adress now. JimH, yours to, please. Thanks.

Scott, Red, i just sent you the web design (not a concept letter again) several hours ago. Please check your email. Save the attachment to your comp....then right click the file/folder..then pick "extract to SEB"....then pick / double click "index" or "index.html" in the menu.
The photographs aren't ready yet...in some days i believe.
Mr. Wilbur has already registered my website (www.sebcoaxial.com), and if he loads the web design to the internet(?), you should be able to see the website very soon...
Yes, my nephew told me this evening that i would be able to see or print every order in the form.
seb.

I'll be very blunt and this post will offend you. It's not my words though - it's more "devil's advocate" (I'm playing a role like an actor) If you want to succeed with US customers, you have to give them more than they want and you also have to do whatever it takes to "trick" (also known as marketing) them into buying your product. Just think of this - Your rest does cost a fair sum of money
- It requires 8-12 weeks
- It's based out of the country
- There is a language AND a race/ethnic barrier - you are obvouisly of an inferior nationality and race because you come from Indonesia and people will buy a piece of crap rest from a forgiener before they buy it from someone like you This is the mindset of people here - I'm serouis.
I personally think you should make the site in as good of english as possible so it doesn't make you look like a "scatterbrained" (like an idiot) chatterbox. People don't like that. I wouldn't talk too much about a language barrier. Let them know english is your second language but let them believe you're fluent in it. You could mention that you have interpreters - personal friends you corespond with who are from the United States. Tell the customer via your website that you recieved help in the creation of the website and that you seek your interpreter's aid on ALL CUSTOM ORDERS OR ANY RECIEVED EMAILS to ensure the utmost accuracy. (oh hell scott and I can be your interpretor) and if you want me to I will. But you can not let them think that you struggle with the english language. If they ask a specific question, they want a very specific answer or they go elsewhere. I went to a mexican restuarant last week and the waitor couldn't speak a bit of english. I wanted my burrito a certain way but I knew I was going to have to scrape off all the nasty shit I told him I didn't want. I don't mind doing that on a 3 dollar piece of food. But if that burrito was to cost say $500.00 dollars, I wouldn't order b/c I'd be too afraid its going to be ordered wrong. Do you understand what I'm talking about?

Red, thank you for your concern. I know your points....I appreciate that. From 30 rests i build at this time (the second run), more than 20 rests are SOLD and need to be sent next month/April. Some have paid their order, while the other are FIRM orders. (they provide their needs & complete adress for shipping...i just don't feel okay to ask them to pay very early). The orders are mostly from the US, while the others are from Netherland, South Africa, Aussie etc. The other 10 would be easy to sell though, especially when the website is on the net...this week i hope.

Sebastian, I think that Red missed a certain point in his concerns. For the most part when your selling to the American Public Red is right. BUT when your selling to the benchrest shooting public your in a whole nother world. Its like an old boys network. These people arn't worried about ethinic backgrounds or the ability to speak english. They compete with people from all over the world and are a bit used to these problems. Its like an old boys network. Once your in your in. Sebastian is IN. Now all he has to do is build the most for the least and he has it whipped. Problem is, its a small comunity and when you sell trivits in a small town your only going to sell so many trivits.

Problem is, its a small comunity and when you sell trivits in a small town your only going to sell so many trivits. Exactly Once all the "serouis" shooters buy buy his product, he has to get the "common" shooter (or at least advanced) to buy this product. I think the common shooter is going to have a lot more doubts in his head.

Thank you. Btw, i don't know what "trivits" means...sorry, cannot find it in my dictionary...just "trivia" and "trivet". Here my thought... I do think that my products is intended for serious BR shooters, that shoot competitively. This product is intended for a (very) segmented market. I never imagine a hunter, or shooters, that aren't shoot competitively in BR game will buy my stuff. Never. Another thing is, i cannot make my stuff more mass product, or to raise my production rate - due to my time. As i told you before, this project is mainly for a "pride" for me. I just would like to see that i can also provide superior products for BR shooters, with the best pricing in the market. I cannot and will not make "big money" with this project. It's just for "extra money" for me, intented to "subsidy?" my strong willingness to shoot BR overseas. This is still new product, anyway i had much good feedback and impressions from the customers and shooters that have already tried or looked at my products. This is true. I never or will never make "a second best" product, though. Just simple question...IF i don't provide a quality and superior products (compare to my competitor, today) - do you think those shooters bought, or will buy my products???...You judge for yourself on this. My Mentor and Advisor in this project, even "insists" me to not affraid to raise the pricing for a more fair profit for me - refer to the function, quality & workmanship on my stuff. Of course he EXACTLY know what he is talking about. He had already bought & tried front rests and bags in his 40+ years excperience, more than you can imagine. He, and one other, sold their "Farl*y" after they used my coax, and that's just because they think my stuff is better made etc, not because for funding for other stuffs, or so. The others have said much the same, too. There were several guys offer me to be the dealer, too. I also got their orders when i stil didn't have the website, yet. So i'm not really sure what thing i should affraid with?... Btw, i also prefer those shooters know me "as what i am"...no more, no less. My english is poor, and yes i must struggle with the "english thing", but that will not change anything, even with my "inferior nationality" etc. ;D Anyway, i always appreciate a help & good will, and open for good input.

What I ment by trivit Sebastian is something that has a limited use and market that few people know what it is to be used for. ( ;D my english isn't much better than yours is and in some ways worse as I use slang ) But to finish I think you know exactly what you have and know exactly where you want to go with it. Your doing fine, keep up the good work. Maybe if I quit buying guns long enough I can someday afford to own one too.

Gentlemen, You can now see my temporarily website on c.1asphost.com/sebcoaxial/It still didn't perfect yet, but at least you can see the pages there. The flash pics would be changed in some days. I must take better pics etc. But the order form works just okay when i tried to "place" order there. Let me know your thought...seb.
