Default Bratton's New Web Page

I just went to Bratton's web page not expecting to see a whole new layout! Wow the new site is really nice. I really like the videos, assembly diagrams, and tech articles. Also really appreciate the enhanced search features.

https://www.brattons.com/

Great job Jeff, Walt, Debbie, and team members!!

I popped on there for just a few minutes last night and saw that. It looks great, and feels up-to-date.

But, I was so used to the old one. Feels strange, guess I'll just have to get used to it.

That is good. Nicely made, quick loading, full of information. High quality, just like the rest of the operation, and the parts.

Even after reading this, I haven't seen it yet but it could only be better than Snyders new website. I'm not aware of anybody over here who uses Snyders now because of their website being so unfriendly to international Model A ers.
I think they are very silly not to fix it (they have been told of the problems several times)

Thank you everybody for your kind words. We have been promising it for years, and ran into more difficulties than one might expect, but I'm proud of the new site. In the next few weeks and months you will begin to see more features working. We wanted to get the basics out and than start adding some of the bells and whistles.

I'm not international but I do find it hard to locate stuff on snyders site since it was upgraded. They have seven pictures / category's to cover the entire car. ....
Brattons has a nice complete table of contents to locate everything.... Great job on them

I like the new site but I had to re-register to log on and now I can't see any of my past orders. My history seems to be gone. Is that normal?

"Nice going Brattons thanks," I kept thinking the Snyders web site was my problem that I was doing something wrong, apparently not hope they are taking notice.

I'm still buying in the Model A days. I look in the book and order over the phone.

Huh, I thought it was me also. I gave up on Snyders and ordered from Mac's because the website worked. Was worried because of all the negitive on here but it was 100% good and the freight which was USPS seemed cheap and was here in a week.

They are still one of my 3 vendors I like to deal with, taking care of the issues I wasn't happy with, unlike my very first vendor who didn't seem open to putting there hands back in the till for parts I complained about, so it's Snyders, Brattons, and Berts.
