How much design detail and info does your shaper have on his website about the boards?

Is CI really the only site that shows rocker and 12" measurements out there? I'm realizing that one shapers description of rocker is not at all consistent with others. Seems like this is pretty important to know more definitively before purchasing.

IMO too much info and too many models just makes the average surfer more indecisive. Not enough and it makes what could be an excellent shaper appear less than.

Plenty of 1 man shows that are tremendous shapers, maybe even glassers too, that are just not that great at computer websites, maybe can’t afford a good site and have the time to maintain it. Yet they are busy enough to just make insane boards.

Throw in the finance and sales it takes, all while away from the shaping room, and it is usually a really difficult to do.

IMO too many flavors of the month going on in the industry, with very few changes, but lots of $$ spent on sales and marketing. Which most of you fall for. Just go surf and stop worrying about all those fricken models, volumes, and logos!

Biolos's site is useful enough for craigslist/used rack grabs.

What 20W said about custom guy. There's previous files and the boards are more exactly what you want with each iteration, I don't care about model descriptions/details on the website.

Come across plenty of surfboard websites that have very poor amount of info about their various board models.

Got a sneaking suspicion there's plenty of shapers out there that will never supply this level of detail because they are just winging it.
I also think a lot of it is that they'd rather talk to you in person, especially the older shapers. Younger surfers (millennials) probably care more about "complete" website info than older surfers, too, and are more likely to just buy a board without talking to anyone.

Digital marketing has become increasingly popular in recent years. More and more companies are opening every day, and it's hard to find one that you can genuinely trust. Another emerging area of Internet marketing is SEO, a truly remarkable process. Many of the businesses are contracting to merge and double their organic revenue. But is it so easy to connect 2 sites under one domain? I think it is. In my experience, it's better to trust this process to someone who specializes in merging and SEO. That's why I chose a team made up of experts. They became my saviors. If you're interested, I can tell you my whole story.
