Evaluation date - 03/18/2004

www.langaard.no was initally evaluated, new  http://www.aditech.no/ is
improved -  Promoted from 3rd tier to 2nd tier status.

Plenty of screen shots for individual products

Uses new ClarionShop order URL such as:
https://www.clarionshop.com/secure/...cfm?pid=403&q=1

Areas for improvement:

Navigation - When a company has multiple Clarion add-on products, it's
nice to navigate from a product sub-menu

Price Chart for all products to see company Clarion add-on pricing at a
glance.

Download Dates and file sizes

iAlchemy, LTD
http://www.ialchemy.com/

Evaluation date - 03/18/2004

New site added to Best Dressed - Worst Dressed list. Initial evaluation
is 2nd tier status.

Scrolling product description display

Nice simple chart with price, product download, demo, and order URLs

Attractive screen shots of products

Areas for improvement:

Download dates and file size

While I find the scrolling product description table easy enough to use,
I would like to see more of the product description at a glance,
possibly an option to open the a full product description in another
browser window.

Clarion specfic information for USF product.

BG Softfactory
http://www.bgsoftfactory.com/

Evaluation date - 03/16/2004

New site added to Best Dressed - Worst Dressed list. Initial evaluation
is 2nd tier status.

Currently a one Clarion add-on product site. Good flash movie of BG XML
DICO.

Areas for improvement:

Product description - Most of the description is what tools are used to
produce the results, and the actual process of those tools. It would be
helpful to describe in more detail the results of the tools, and a
variety of screen shots to display the results of the tool.

The current screen shot is difficult to view - possibly use thumbnails
and expand to viewable, actual size screen shots so the results are
easier to examine.

Also, I recommend placing the eSellerate link in the How much? text.
