IMPORTANT QUESTION: You're the second one to have raised this question, I being the first. It continues to be ignored by everyone else here. I am sorry, but with all the expertise and "great resumes" beind this operation, what is the problem with putting up a professional looking website? As you said, there are prepackaged websites- fully customizablem with shopping cart plug-ins, that a 1st grader can put together for less than $100. AND the excuse that SFI is not in the business of building websites is piss poor. PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT WHO KNOWS HOW! A friggin' ad on Craigslist to do the job for $250 would do the trick for goodness sake. Something just isn't right here. I know come Monday there will NOT be a new site. You'll simply see REAL available to add to the shopping cart alongside Smokers Option. While launching the product is indeed a milestone and great news, I am still baffled by how half-ass the company shines light on their product. When Smokers Option was released, their poster looked like an Andy Warhol abstract. I took it upon myself to redesign the poster in just 1 single hour! And wouldn't ha know it, my design popped up on their site just hours later. Something is just not right here. Branding. It needs hard core branding, So what gives and why don't more people care to ask this question? I am long again on SFIO by the way so this is not bashing, just merely trying to understand what's going on.

I absolutely agree with both of you who have commented here on SFIO's website. It's garbage. I love the company and the concept and it's going to take a much higher PPS to pry any of them from my hands, but I think their branding and website are about as cheap as you can get. I work for non-profit that has a website that's 10 times better.

I have a close friend that very experienced in branding and web development: www.elevate.co. He's done work for VMWare, HP, ESPN, Fender, CAT, DLink, several country singers. It would only cost a few thousand for SFIO to get top-notch public face. What's keeping them from doing so?
