New Business Adventure

I am happy to announce that I have finally purchased a domain name (faintheartart.com) and that I have published a website jointly with the hubster to sell my arty things and his wood crafts. I've been planning to do this for a couple of years and have actually been working on it for a couple of weeks.

The logo on the left hand side of this site right under the "About Me" link will take you there as will this address: http://faintheartart.com.

For the most part the items available are one of a kind. The exception to that is the custom option on the main website for signs made by the hubster.

Here is the logo describing the business:


And here is the one that appears on the catalog pages and receipts:


They are not identical because I was afraid if I used the descriptive one, it would appear as if it should be clickable with links to each of the categories and on the catalog page that is not possible.

I'd love it if you would take a look and provide me with feedback regarding your experience.

I am planning to add other items as I make them. These will possibly include ACEOs, collages, blank handmade journals and Photoshop backgrounds (digital files that would be emailed to the customer).

I will periodically update progress and insights to my experience so that any of you who are considering opening an online business can benefit from it.

For now I am off to the treadmill and then am planning to begin a new master drawing. I'll keep you posted.

xoxo

  7. Lovely page! I really like the background colors, with all the musical notes, it's almost like it's playing some musics to people who are looking at it. I hope it draws a lot of crowd as it has with me ^^

    I am having trouble (with more than your site) downloading pictures. The one under your picture did not come out. I did however, see the two big layout pages. Nice.
