Website update!

Website Update Accomplishments:
  • I fixed the links page! Another rollicking success!
  • I actually put some links on the links page! This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the millinery supply places I've used, but it's a heck of a good start. I'll try to be better about adding them when I visit them, (or when I find new ones).
  • I added the last of the on-the-shelf pictures, only to discover that only only one was missing, and it is one that is already Sold. I put the picture up anyway.

Now - if I can just figure out how to make a fillable order form on this website.....
          And put some standard sizing information up there......
               And measure the felts and write some descriptions.......
                     And make a felt color chart for the Cav hats...........
                              and finish that hat article on the linen Mary Stewart Caps.......

OR - I could just take a minute and feel pleased about the things I did get done.

(And do my homework for my millinery class on Thursday.)

Website Store Update!

I'm so very proud of myself.

The old joke "Dear god, Jim, I'm a milliner, not a web designer!" may get old, but it never gets any less true.

But, through several evenings' work (I sent my husband to two movies while I worked over the weekend)
I've redesigned the store page a bit. It's still not uber-flashy but it is a definite improvement, and actually contains images of the flatcaps!

The old numbering system was pretty cumbersome, so I've got fancy lookin' product codes and numbers now (i.e. FHXL 3) , which actually simplify things for me. I still have a few more XL felt hat images to post, and I need to do a bunch of descriptions, but the really important thing is - the tables loaded, look like I wanted them to, and contain pictures! The links even go clicky, and I fixed the main links page.

Though I deserve ice cream, I'll settle for a self satisfied sigh, and this little public gloat.
 Every time I do this web design Dreamweaver thing, it does get easier.

There is hope for me yet.

Now - I need to get a real photography set up (white box, lights, a tripod and digicam that can actually take clear closeups of stitching and trim details, etc.) so that the pictures are consistent and good, and THAT will feel like a great next step.

It's a new year - ANYthing could happen.
