AAP has updated our FAQ Page which is quick answers to common questions about aquarium keeping, products, and AAP.
Here is an excerpt from the section dealing with AAP:
"Why AAP does not use popular Magento E-commerce Platform"?
We chose to use a platform designed by web and computer tech guru Mitch Cohen which is based on eBay and the PayPal e-commerce platforms (all sales are completed by PayPal, NOT AAP website).
AAP's founder sought the help of two other tech/web-design experts as well so as to build the unique information rich site AAP is today.
These experts also addressed suggestions for quick navigation around our information rich selling pages by adding "Jump to cart" buttons. While these "jump to cart" buttons made most persons happy for the quick navigation they provide, a few have also complained it confuses them, so to these persons we apologize (but once you understand how they work and and how they allow for quicker navigation, we think you will like them too as most have).
AAP has also employed mobile responsive design, however with our content rich website with many web pages such as our Lighting article containing 55 pages, it is impossible to make the website any more friendly than it is for mobile devices. For those who complain about this when they should use a computer or tablet to read in depth content, this is analogous to complaining to a manufacture of travel or fifth wheel RV trailers as to why they cannot pull their trailers with an economy sedan.
A lot of time & money has gone into the website design initially and ongoing over the years including the unique use of hash-tags for navigation designed by another web design expert (we also literally daily update the web site, which few can make this claim).
In fact besides AAPs use of index hash-tags for quick index drops which has since been copied by Wikipedia, AAP has a traditional CSS drop down menu on EVERY PAGE, AAP also uses picture navigation and pays a considerable fee every month for a professional search button on EVERY PAGE that is 95% accurate (not typical free Google search button)!"
