We have a website

After what  feels like forever, but probably has only been a couple of months I finally have my website up and running again. It's been a long, slow process as anyone who's tried to set up a website can attest. The webhosting company is great though, helping me install the required software because that is so not my forte.

It took a lot of searching, looking, trying on, going back before I found a look for a website I liked. Best part is, it's free! Gotta love open source and all those wonderfully geeky people who are willing to share their gifts.

Gdranted my website still isn't perfect, I need to do a lot of tweaking to it but at least when I head into the craft fair next week (if you're in Surrey, don't forget to come by and check it out), I can hand out my business card and be safe in the knowledge that if people do try and look up my business, they won't come to a blank page or worse yet, a 404 error.

Of course getting a website going means getting together a lot of information and having pretty pictures. To that end, hubby is helping me take some new pictures of the soaps which I think takes my products to a whole new level. It'll take some time for him to re-take all the photos of the products and for me to put them all up, but in the meanwhile, take a gander at these photos, and please check out the newly revised website and let me know what you think.

    1. Yep, they're all soaps, just to prove I'm insane as I say I am. The whole website thing is a mystery to me, one day it looks just fine, next day something else has gone wrong. Good thing there're people out there who love to fiddle with that sort of thing and offer free advice.

  2. Yay!!! It's a lot of work building a website, so good for you for getting it done! I'm trying to pull it up but I think my internet provider is being a pain again and won't let me. :P Will try again tomorrow.

    1. Oddly, your site won't load for me on the Macbook, but it will on the iPhone. Weird. Maybe it's just my internet speed problem.

    1. Thanks Cee! Sorry it's taken me forever to respond, but my goodness the hours just fly by in the day and I don't get near enough accomplished. I guess if I was a normal person I'd get a data plan on my phone so I can do my responses on the bus.
