I am so thrilled! Less than 24hrs later (and I did sleep a few hours), my not so flash site is gone and my new one is up and running. Wahoo! It used to be flash based, and you couldn't even Pin from it to Pinterest, but now I think it's even pin worthy.
Here are a few screen shots, but I would love it if you popped over to Emmaline and saw the actual thing. My web-designing brother gave me the thumbs up and said it looked "Simple and Clean". Yay, that's what I was going for. I also wanted "bright and sunshiny" too. I think it's bright, maybe too bright. I don't think it's as bright as it looks in these screen shots though. It's a bit calmer on the web.
My bro did point out the my word "Flickr" looks like a bad word with the font I used. True, I hadn't noticed that. I am not changing the font though, no way, I like those W's too much.
Eventually, I need to take all new product shots - they are all poorly lit, with different shades of blueish white in the background. They all need to be redone. Someday soon. I need to make the blog match the website and I will start that in a few days. But first, I need to get my wallet pattern and bowling bag patterns released, the public is waiting in anticipation ;P
Thank you for looking!
Looks great Janelle! I do like the clean and bright look. Is that clutch on the home page a teaser for a new pattern?
ReplyDeleteYour site looks fabulous! Just beautiful and easy to navigate!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, I didn't notice a bad word. lol
ReplyDeleteNice and clean, and i don't think it's to bright. Waiting for the clutch release, it will make a great mothers day gift. :)

ReplyDeleteLove the site. I know u r working hard and it looks great! Can't wait for that cute wallet pattern! Just an FYI, I happened to see that the word Bowling is spelled incorrectly on your "Kits" page. In the main title. Just thought u would want to know.
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely wanted to know about that! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
DeleteLooks great Janelle!! I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maaike! Glad you like it!!
DeleteLooks great! Now, all I need is that wallet pattern. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's coming Margaret!! Thank you!! Janelle
DeleteI like your new pattern! I wondered where to get the twist-lock hardware? You don't have that on your list of hardware supplies. Also -- since you asked -- there's a grammatical error in the description for this pattern: "with it's enclosed sides" should be "with its ..." The apostrophe indicates a contraction of "it is"; the possessive is "its" without an apostrophe. (It is confusing because other possessives do use an apostrophe, as in "Emmaline's patterns.")
ReplyDeleteI love that you let me know about that, Carol! I probably have done that a million times already. How in the heck am I going to find them all?
DeleteAs far as the twist lock goes, you can buy them at most large fabric stores, tandy leather and on ebay. I have an order on the way and will have them in my shop soon!! Janelle
I wouldn't change your font for little ole flickr;) haha. I LOVE your new wallet!!!! I'm getting it for sure!!!!!!! I have been thinking about making a new one anyway! Perfect timing:) Happy Easter!!
