Shorts Report post Posted March 25, 2009 I got this idea from UKRay and some other posts below in order to be the first step in advertising my upcoming opening. I put a quick page here: http://monicakuehnleather.blogspot.com/ It's certainly a long way from great but throw me any oohs or ahhs. I'm not good at decorating and especially not this web page stuff. Any ideas are certainly appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorsehairBraider Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Hey, that's great, and you have to start somewhere! Good start. My business is based almost entirely on my website. My first page was not that great and was hosted on someone else's site... I had to hurry up and learn how to code, and my own first page was not that great either. But you know, you just keep going and before you know it, you've got a site! The important thing is to start. And don't worry about putting all sorts of gewgaws and gadgets on your site - plain and simple is just fine. It works for me, I get compliments on my site all the time. Personally, I don't care for sites that have flashing stuff on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Good start on the site Monica. But, I am disheartened.....nary a mention of your 'family'. I'm gonna go pout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas are certainly appreciated! Great idea and you're off to a good start I would say...may I make a suggestion about your photography ? I am no expert for sure, but one observation I make...over and over again, is that a white or light background "steals detail" away from a dark colored item being photographed. Try using a more neutral colored background.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shorts Report post Posted March 26, 2009 HHB, I'm impressed reading you learned to code. I think I liken it to trying to learn a different language! lol Good stuff! Its amazing what one can do when they need to do it. Mike, 'the family' will be listed soon. I have links I want to list on the left side of the page to balance it out. I'm just trying to figure out how to get them over there UKRay, it's in my price range! Rayban, thanks for the suggestions. I will be looking to a dedicated, real photobox or setting to photograph my items and hopefully have a more eye-friendly setup. I can't change the pictures I have as they are all of orders that have long been sent to customers. For now I have to use the photos I do have and then work from there. Thanks for the suggestion on the neutral background. I have been told that before - it's time I start listening! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
