Working on websites

July 9, 2008

I hate my business web site (not BeadingHelpWeb.com - I love the way that one looks!).

After much consideration, I decided I had to carve out some time last weekend to work on a new one. I purchased a new domain and set it up to be hosted…no going back.

Staring at a blank page doesn’t do much good, but that’s about what I did for a good couple of hours. Finally, an idea started forming, and then taking shape.

I’m not an HTML-queen, but I know enough to be dangerous. So between my minimal coding abilities, PhotoShop, and Adobe PageMill, I put together what I thought was a pretty good prototype.

I wanted minimalistic and clean. I wanted a shopping cart and the ability to update things myself. Most of all, I wanted something that reflected my personality and work.

While it’s not perfect (I’d like to have a cart of my “own” but for now, I’m sufficing with linking to sections in my Etsy shop), I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got.

I’d love to hear your thoughts – take a peek at C-My Designs, revisited.
