The New DragonAutomotive.com

We changed the DNS information with our registrar today so that by December 1, 2008 the new site will be fully functional on the new server. There may be some disruption as the new server info propagates the internet. This usually takes a day or two but may be slightly longer. Once this takes effect the old site will be completely removed from the internet so if you have any bookmarks to specific pages they will no longer work. I suggest making updating your bookmark to start at the DragonAutomotive.com home page instead.

We will be leaving the web site PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com online as a kind of test site. This site will showcase any new features or code changes prior to thier taking effect on the actual DragonAutomotive.com web site. It will be a fully functional site so any purchases made from it will be for real.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this transition.

Web Site Disruption

The day is almost here. On December 1, 2008 we will be moving the DragonAutomotive.com web site to our new server. This will cause the site to be down for a few days. Please shop the PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com web site while we make this change.

We will also be taking down the web site BilletGrilleStore.com. This web site was established primarily to test the new shopping cart and it has served it's short term purpose. There are other plans for this domain name so stay tuned to the blog for details. If you purchased a product from the BilletGrilleStore.com please contact DragonAutomotive.com for service related questions.

We appologize for any inconveniance that this will cause you but the small amount of pain is worth it. If you haven't seen the new web site yet I suggest stopping by PerformancePartsAndAcccessories.com and checking it out. The new site is easier to use. Each page has the complete master catalog on it so that you can shop for any vehicle and its part regarldess of what page your on. The new site also supports YouTube videos for you to watch and you can submit videos for us to include in the video rotation.

Old Page Links

The DragonAutomotive.com web sites existing product pages will function until December 1, 2008. We will then be moving the site to the new server and the current page links with products on them will no longer work.

Google may have these old links still active for a brief time. Simply go to the DragonAutomotive.com home page and start your search. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause but it will be worth it in the end.

Master Catalog Link Changes

Progress on the new web site is well progressing. We have changed the working links on the Master Catalog page at DragonAutomotive.com. Next for this page will be the removal of the product that will no longer have a link to the new site. Most of these product will still be available but will take some time to get back on the site in order to add new products.

We have also fixed an issue where products were showing up on the wrong pages. The projector headlights were showing up on standard style headlights as were the LED tail lights showing up on the standard style tail lights. Also changed is the number of products that show on the page. We have increased the product to 50 items per page. This will make finding things much easier as you will no longer have to move from page to page.

Next we will be implementing the new navigation menu to the existing web site and adding some of the missing products like Wiseco pistons to the new web site. Some of the product will not be available right away in order for us to work on adding the new manufacturers products.

New DragonAutomotive.com Web Site

We will be starting the new web site migration process this month.

1. First we will start by making the current product links go to the PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com web site. The first page to change will be the master catalog page.

2. After that we will be implementing the new menu on all of the pages. The old navigation will no longer work once we have this in place.

3. Then we will be moving the DragonAutomotive.com site to our new server. This move will delete all of the current product pages and Google will no longer be indexing those pages. If you have any bookmarks to individual product they will no longer work and we suggest updating your bookmarks before this change occures.

When we make the move to the new server we will also be creating the new shopping cart system which is already in place on PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com.

This migration will cause problems and we appologize for any inconveniance that it causes but it will allow us to better serve you in the future. If at any time you have questions or concerns please call us 612-226-2719. The total site migration will occure by December 24, 2008.

New Menu for New Site

We have replaced the tree based menu with a drop down style menu on the PerformancePartsandAccessories.com web site. This fixes the problem with the menu being covered up by the YouTube video screen.

Sneak Peak at New Web Site

Great news everyone. The new web site is pretty much done and as a blog reader you get the first glimpse of our new site. As stated in previous blog posts the new site is currently at the domain name PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com.

The new site is fully functional and has our most up to date products including a few coilover suspension packages for our new vendor Ksport. We will have more on this new vendor and others as we continue to work on this new site.

In a month or so we will be starting the migration process meaning that links to products at the DragonAutomotive.com domain name will be linked to the new store at PerformancePartsAndAccessories.com domain.

Hope you all like the new version of DragonAutomotive.com and if you have comments we would love to hear them.
