I spoke to a web designer from Yellowboxmarketing on LinkedIn about making me a customised website. However, it was going to be pretty pricey so for the module hand in I have decided to go with cargo collective. I think a customised website is something I will go with later down the line when I can afford to. For now I am going to make the most of cargo. Yellow box also said that they do their websites through code so I wouldn't have a lot of control of it once it is set up, they would have to keep updating it, which is no good for me if I am constantly making new work.
I still have A LOT of work to do on the site. For me this has been a real challenge to get my head around as it is something I have never done before. I am working my way through the settings trying to customise areas. Upgrading it has really helped and I think once I have a clear plan of exactly what I am initially selling with regards to the greetings cards I will turn off most of these pages and just focus on the cards. This mock up is to give an idea of what it can be like and the type of products I will be producing after the first year.
I am not particularly happy with the layout because it doesn't allow for me to add prices to things, explain anything underneath it or give each one a title. I also don't like that if you add writing to a page it just floats at the top.
Also, I want to get rid of the fact the page highlights up in blue when you click on it. There is quite a lot I want to change and I think I definitely need to work with a web designer on this to get it to how I want it to be. I won't be promoting the site until I am happy with the layout. I also want to change the fact that everything will be bought through etsy, I think this will be a pain to keep checking and doesn't look very professional to be taken to another site. I would like a proper online shop set up where people pay me either through paypal or by card so again I need a web designer to help me do this.
