No wonder why people pay $1200 to have someone make them a business website! I guess I never really thought about all that goes into it. My old site, www.jewelrycreationsbydiana.com, is so simple and out of date. This new site will be much more involved. I finished the links and then decided to add more product categories, which will take me forever to add onto every page. Seems like the more I try to remember every little thing I could possibly conceivably want on the site, the more I get discouraged. Right now I'm making sure each piece of jewelry has a clickable link to a larger picture of it, I feel that's really important. There's no way you can choose to buy a piece of jewelry from a thumbnail pic.
Besides all that, the site is truly coming along "in spite of myself". I've got to get over the perfectionist attitude because making sure everything is lined up micron by micron shouldn't be as important as putting out a site that's easy on the eyes and easy to navigate. I get so frustrated when I can't find out how to get to see the products on a site because the webmaster has made such a fuss over the "front page" that they lose the link to get in! Ever had that problem? ARGH!
Enough gripping from me for now. I'm sure to have more venting sessions before I'm done. Then I get to start on the www.dianaparkerart.com site, whoopee!
Have a great day!
