Website To-Do's

Thursday, October 20, 2011

A great friend of mine, Sarah McKenzie, told me about www.showitfast.com, which is what she used to create her website. I downloaded the free trial, and was amazed at how easy it is to use, so I signed up (after playing with my site for two weeks, of course).

With the new line coming out soon, I wanted a fresher, cleaner look for the site, so I changed templates and started playing around. Then I changed templates again. What I've come up with, is what you see when you go to the site currently. I'm very happy with how it's turning out. I still have so many things to fine tune, so I thought I'd write them out here to help me wrap me head around it.

1) Add "add to cart" buttons, sync with the shopping cart page (hopefully paypal will work this time around)
2) Add pop out galleries for every sash (I did this once before, and am hoping I'll remember how to do it again)
3) Add pictures of new sashes
4) Create look book (print look book as well, but that has nothing to do with the website)

And I think that's it. Keep in mind, there are 20 new sashes for the Spring 2012 line. So it may not seem like a whole lot, but it is going to be pretty time consuming. If anyone has worked with Showit before and has any tips, I'm all ears!
