We just changed the top navigation on our website by adding the "Why Digital Storm?" as the first item. What do you all think about it?

Another thing that differentiates Digital Storm and what ultimately drove me to buy here for the first time two years ago is this community.  I learned a tremendous amount before my purchase reading the advice given to to others and still use this forum as my primary source for keeping up on trends in the premium PC world.

Great job to all of the experts on this board sharing their knowledge! Awesome

Alex,

I don't see anything about "Why Digital Storm?" on the main page you linked.  What am I missing?

We renamed it to "Experience" because it was too long calling it "Why Digital Storm?"

What do you guys think of the rename?

Are you using "Experience" to tell of Digital Storm's experience in building custom PCs or to tell customers about what it's like to "Experience" a Digital Storm system?  Or both?

My feeling is that the one word, "Experience" may be a bit too generic in either case as it can be interpreted multiple ways and doesn't give me that "oomph!" that you're really excited about your brand.  I don't know if there's a better word out there that would convey either sentiment, but that's my feeling about it.

- Why Us?
- The Brand
- Our Brand

Of the choices Alex listed, "Why DS?" is the best.  IMO it's better than "Experience" but it's still not grabbing me.  I'm going to give it some thought and if anything springs to mind that would pull me in as a customer.

Maybe "The DS Way"?

I like "Experience" but can appreciate how it might seem to vague for some.

Issue with "Why DS?" Is that it does not tie in with all of the items in that section, and not everyone will know what "DS" is, especially a new customer that just came to our website.

The word "Experience" was chosen because it conveyed a feeling, and emotion, for someone to check out something about the company.

All of your suggestions are great, let's hear from everyone about this. We're listening, thanks!

I do like "Explore" as well.

I vote for "Experience".  Big%20Smile

It does link well to the items in drop down and I really couldn't think of a better term.   It does need a little something but tough to do with the limitations on space.

Just had a thought....Whoa  Scary, I know. Hahaha

Swap the name of Experience in the header with Our Passion in the top of drop down.  

The header is Our Passion and links to Experience, showing the experience you have building rigs where Our Passion was.  Then  Our Passion links to  Customer reviews, HydroLux, BBB Rating, etc.

I'm going to be a stick in the mud and stick with "Experience." Big%20Smile

 I like "Our Passion" but the one-word motif seems to make a better navigation bar in my opinion.

Both are good though at conveying the message though, mine is just a visual preference.

We changed to to "About Us" for now. Seems to make more sense based on what's under it versus saying "Our Passion" for now.

Let us all know what you think.

'About Us' with 'Our Passion' seems to work well, especially with the other topics in that column.
