Now that things have finally slowed down from that huge Us Weekly rush I'm able to put some of my energies into other aspects of my business - like my own online store! I'm soooo excited! I've wanted to do this for a while now and after reading about Lisa's Etsy suspension over on Handmadeology (and the comments from others who this has happened to as well) I decided it was time to plan a little further if I'm going to keep on keepin' on.
I did some research on a few e-commerce sites; Indiemade, Retailr and Shopify were the contenders. I settled on Shopify because they seemed to offer the most intuitive interface while allowing me the flexibility of the design of my shop. As you can imagine being a designer, that's super important to me. Now I'm in shopify and working on the develop of my store, I can tell you that, if you can install and setup a Wordpress site, you can use Shopify.
Anyway, once I had a platform selected I hopped on Pinterest for some web design inspirations. Here's a few of my favorites:
It'll still be a week or so before I get the shop up and running but so far so good! I'm really excited and I can't wait to launch it!! Of course I'll keep you posted. till then.... xoxo
I discovered a new artist today. Fatoumata Diawara from Mali. Love her earthiness and energy. She has a little India Arie vibe. :) Check her out.
Happy Monday!! Let's do this!
