If they have to overhaul their site, most retailers will work on it during off-peak hours or take down parts instead of putting up an “Under construction” sign and shutting it down all together. Most retailers, that is, except the Gap.
The AP reports Gap has shuttered the popular Gap.com and OldNavy.com sites as it overhauls them in anticipation of the holiday shopping season.
Company spokeswoman Kris Marubio said it is a “soup-to-nuts” overhaul and the work was too extensive to keep the sites running.
“We think this is going to make for a more compelling and exciting experience for shoppers,” Marubio said.
Except for those who want to shop online now, that is.
