Of all the things I thought I might do with my life, building websites was never one of them. But here I am...
I have given myself a deadline for building three websites - mine; our joint Deckled Edge Press'; and Barry's and can now say that 2/3 ain't bad! I still have a day or two up my sleeve to get Barry's published and then I can let out a really big sigh of relief. For the time being I shall release a mid-sized such sigh.
Here it is...fionadempster.com
I mentioned a week or so ago that we had published the DEP website and the story is pretty much the same for mine. Built around our Square sales point that we use in the studio and at fairs, markets, shows etc we can link our inventory from the studio to our websites.
Never before have I found having an online shop so easy. Who knew?
We also have the choice to sell things on one or all three of the websites. Mainly we have things available on one or two - for example my feminist posters are available on both my website and on Deckled Edge Press' website. But some of my artists' books and calligraphy are only on mine.
It's tricky to get the balance right, but we are working our way through it all...
My site has very much the looking feel I was after - soft and gentle.
good on you ! Congrats, Fiona !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Annick, it has been such a learning curve but I am so glad I persisted!
Delete(((Fiona))) as quietly elegant as you are in person!
ReplyDeleteHa ha too kind Mo. It does make me feel calm when I look at it tho so I am happy for that. Go well.
DeleteLooks wonderful. I wasn't able to view the images on the home page, beneath 'view more', though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know Renata, I will do some double checking when I get home in a few days. Glad that you like the look of it too! Go well.
Deleteit does indeed have the look and feel of your work ... I do hope you'll be adding more images to the Gallery as time permits
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz, it looks and feels gentle and calm to me which makes me happy. I did the first six in the gallery to go live, and will definitely be trying to add to them over their while. I like the link to the blog process stories - adds to the storytelling I think. Go well.
