Road to launch: December 2026

We moved launch to December on the Sept 30 call so October and November go to finishing the store and getting the details right. This page shows the decisions in front of you, then everything left before go-live and who has it.

Your decisions

Each one has our recommendation, the price, and the date it matters by.

Navigation plan

The header navigation plan we sent Sept 29 and walked through on the Sept 30 call. The current menu on the dev site has no dropdowns because we build those once the plan is approved.

Our recommendation
Approve it as sent, or mark what to keep, cut, move or add
No cost. Once approved, we build the dropdown menus to match.
Decide by Fri, Oct 23

The menus have to be built and tested before launch.

Enhanced product images

Your existing product photos, made larger with better lighting, shadow and background, consistent from product to product. Five samples are live on the dev site. On the Bronco page, pick Black Ops and the image switches to the blackout tip.

Our recommendation
Your top 25 products, with Black Ops on those: $2,500
$1,500 for the 25 images plus $1,000 for Black Ops. Top 100 and full catalog packages are on the pricing sheet sent Oct 7.
Decide by Fri, Oct 30

That leaves time to enhance, load and review all 25 before launch.

Logo refresh

A more dynamic flag, a formal "Motorsports Racing Technology" wordmark, an off-road version, an expanded color palette, and a mark that holds up etched on exhaust tips. The logo sampler went to you Oct 14.

Next step
Tell Jim which samples catch your eye
Typically $3,500 to $6,000, depending on concept rounds and how far we take the off-road version. We firm it into a fixed price once we talk.
Timing Not tied to launch

What's left before launch

Both sides of the list, so it's clear where each item sits.
From MRT8
  • Homepage slides. Hero images for the homepage slider, and the message you want on each slide.
    With you
  • Product tags. A spreadsheet marking Featured Products and which products belong on the Off-road, Muscle and Track landing pages. Same for the Exhaust and Hood Struts bundle, or tell us to swap that slide to Performance Exhaust.
    With you
  • Affirm. The public and private keys from your Affirm account so we can finish financing at checkout.
    With you
  • Sales tax. Confirm with your accountant which states (and Canada, if you sell there) MRT needs to collect sales tax in.
    With you
  • Handling fees. Yes or no on the Order Fees Pro app ($69/month) that applies them at checkout.
    With you
  • PayPal. A few minutes with Jeremy, logged into your PayPal account, to finish the connection.
    With you
  • FedEx. A short screen share to complete FedEx's PIN check so live shipping rates work.
    With you
  • Coupon codes. Send the new codes once they're final. We'll load only those.
    With you
From Formcode7
  • Tracking and reporting plan. How sales from Google Ads, social and email get tracked from day one, coordinated with Hedges.
    Owed to you
  • Sales history archive. Our recommendation for saving your Volusion order history before that account closes.
    Owed to you
  • Make and Model pages. Set up on the new store. Visual tweaks to match the new design, then their content and links once Hedges signs off on the structure.
    In progress
  • Redirects. Point every old shopmrt.com page to its new home so search rankings carry over.
    In progress
  • Shipping. Product weights and box sizes going in, then live FedEx rates.
    In progress
  • Customer accounts. Set up the retail customer group and bring customers over.
    Up next
  • Payments. Stripe is connected and in testing. Full checkout test before go-live.
