New website is launched!

[VividGreg]

Hi all,
We are extremely happy to announce that our new Vivid Aquariums website is now live. We've put a ton of work into it and have added many new features to help beginners and seasoned hobbyists. Features like the Build A Tank section, our very own Vivid Aquariums TV section and write ups [example] for every fish and coral so the customer knows right away how to take care of whatever they're buying. If you have a moment take a look and let us know what you think

Looks good greg! Do you guys still have the vivid rainbow delight? I hope my frag looks like the pic from your old site one day. Do you guys have an updated colony shot of it?

 

[VividGreg]

Hey Zack- give the guys at the store a call about that- I don't get in there often enough...

Very nice Greg. I like the new website a lot. It's very clean looking.

I must commend you on your coral pictures too. They're very true too life. That Pearlberry Invader picture is spot on to your mother colony in your DT. It's very refreshing(and responsible) to see a vendor actually try to truly represent what a coral looks like in real life, instead of misrepresenting a coral with an over the top photoshopped and over saturated picture.

Thanks- that is greatly appreciated and means a lot... and I agree
We feel very strongly that the coral colors and health speak for themselves and don't need any help from Photoshop. That said, I know it's not an easy thing to get accurate colors because of the extraordinary lighting we use in the hobby so we've taken great care in this regard. By the way- I didn't take any of the photos that have a black sand background- those were taken by our expert in the store- Jesse.

This is awesome, thank you for taking the time to make all these videos

Yes, I definitely agree with you that it's very difficult to capture the true colors of corals given the harsh aquarium lighting. I struggle with that every time I hit the on switch on my camera. However, I think too many unscrupulous people use that excuse as a free license to 'create' their own version of hyper colored corals. And unfortunately it's happening more and more these days.

Sorry to vent on your thread. As I said before, it's very refreshing to see legit colored pictures

Looks great! I only see one issue, where's the WYSIWYG clam section?

I suggest calling the store and asking them to put you on "amazing clam alert!!!". Just made that up :biggrin1: Seriously though- it's worth calling in and asking Zach if he could try and get something special for you.

" let us know what you think"

Not having instock / out of stock status for customers is a dealbreaker for me. Anyone ever order something to then find backordered. Then you have to take the time to call and cancel. Having to contact Vivid for each and every item stock status first and ask if it's instock kind of goes against the whole idea of fast and easy customer experience (for me).
