Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a whole lot about website design. However, since my budget was even lower than my level of knowledge, I assigned myself the task of creating the official Cleopatra Glass website over the holidays. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I got a pretty good foundation going. I also quickly realized how difficult it would be to have a full-fledged shopping website. Creating a whole new webpage for each and every item for sale would eat up much more time than I can spare. So instead of trying to duplicate the shopping functionality of my Etsy shop, I decided to focus on supplementing and complementing it. There are several inherent limitations to the Etsy shop structure that my personal website and blog will attempt to fill. For example, the website will have a gallery of Sold Items showing items sold on Etsy but also items sold elsewhere. The section of currently available items will show a selection of items from the Etsy shop that will link directly into the Etsy shop. So, the website is up and running now, and I’m always looking for construction criticism or helpful hints. If you haven’t checked it out, it’s at: www.cleopatraglass.com. Have a great week!
