Looks great in my opinion ...clean and simple...clear pictures, easy to navigate . Did you use a template ?

[Aidanforsyth0]

Yup I used a free template from shopify, fairly easy to use

cool site.

How are you going to direct traffic to it?

In the About Us section, you refer to Us. Is there an Us or is there just a You? People like buying handmade items from an individual. Buying from a We or an Us is moving back towards commercially made products. You give up some of the cache of buying from the lone craftsman. Buyers typically are willing to spend more for the unique, not commercially made products.

If there is only a You, highlight that feature and change all occurrences of Us to I across your website. The exception would be the title About Us. That is a standard which people expect.

Very clean and easy to navigate - for SEO purposes, you should name your images if you can - instead of uploading just the img file - name it a keyword rich name - many people search image searches these days. It works well, and I am guilty of not doing it myself

Your site super clean and fast loading. If I don't at least see a banner for a web site in 5 sec. I'm gone. The phone number could use a couple dashes to make it easier to read. Unless you have a store front and want people to stop by unannounced, I wouldn't put my home address on the website. Instead I would recommend setting an appointment and emailing them your address.

You have a really good start,

Best of luck,
