The website is live!!
BUT
This specific one is unfortunately temporary. I'm remaking a new one behind the scenes with far more options and flexibility for what I'm trying to do. I'm still new and learning and didn't know better smoother options were available had I just started the initial setup a tiny bit differently. Even more unfortunately is I cant simply integrate it after the fact so I had to start over 😭💀😅
I have met plenty of roadblocks and have ugly cried over this whole process far more times than I care to admit. The one step forward 2 (or 6 or 7) steps back has been far too real. But I'm too excited and in love with the vision in my head I'm attempting to build to stop or settle for a site thats "good enough."
Currently the website has the button magnets available for purchase and an upload photo page that is ridiculously easier than emailing them to me for both parties but especially for the sender. The downside to my current website is each process is seperate, you either upload photos first and then purchase a package for them or visa versa. Is it functional? Yes. But could it be easier? Yes.
The current site also has huge limitations on how I'm able to present invoices, post purchase messages/emails etc etc and being an artistic person that doesnt sit well with me.
I also want to be able to provide an option for my family/friends or those who know me for a local pickup/meet up option to avoid the ever rising shipping costs, especially on smaller orders ( I have a free shipping past a certain price point that will be in place on both sites)
So while the current website is functioning and as smoothly as I can possibly make it, it will be so much more seamless in the checkout/upload process and throughout the whole site on the options I will have.
The new site will have:
- A much more visually pleasing and better functioning store.
- A checkout/upload all in one process, and all on my website. No outside links needed.
- A checkout option for local pickup/meet up by link only. Which for now is still doable by contacting me in any which way and I'll send the photo upload form, payment will be outside of my website but will save shipping if you choose.
So please feel free to take a look at the website. I'm super proud of what I've made, especially since technology or anything remotely in the realm of websites is not in my wheelhouse haha.
The website link will always be the same it just will suddenly look a bit different once I go live with the updated page.
Now back to work I go!
Send me lots of good vibes and patience please 😅
