Well we have been a tad quiet over the past few weeks but there has been plenty of action behind the scenes.
Firstly we did put a notice up stating that there were going to be some changes with regards to the website. We spent about a month designing a new look site. Also we have learned that when a hosting company states in large letters that they do a 30 day money back guarantee they don't mention that when you try to contact them they won't answer your emails,answer or call you back on the phone,their live chat suddenly gets too busy and also do not reply to the recorded delivery letters that you send them.
Anyway back to the site. When we re-designed the site it looked far too generic. As we sell unique items rather than mass produced stock, it didn't really fit. Out of all of the home wares websites that we had a gander at the only one that stood out to us (pre original website) was Anthropologie.com and we have used that kind of individuality stamp as a benchmark. Now considering that our web designer has had 2 job offers from other companies due to "the fresh design" we decided to go back to the original design and layout.
Also coming in 2011 we will not be selling solely from the website. We do have some exciting plans in 2011.
