Well in my last post i mentioned some big plans so i thought i should elaborate on that a bit and let you all know what it is i have been up to:
Gosh there is so much i hardly know where to start!! LOL! Well let me see, i did mention my website before which was based around a craft fair calendar......well that one no longer exists :( BUT!! it has been replaced by a much bigger and better one :)
Really it is the original version but much more developed and with a better design. I guess it is a sign of how my website design skills have been developing since first starting all this just a few months ago really. The new site Craft Fair Central has been live for a while now, but i am still developing it. The main task was to sort out a selling section and i wanted to do something that was on a pretty big scale. I have now completed this and the new Craft Artist Shops area has now been live for just over a week :).
The concept for the selling area is based around ebay. It is an auction site with the option for individual shops to be added. It allows sellers to list their own products and receive notifications of sales as well as payment via paypal. There have been a few blips here and there but overall the site has been received well and i now have 32 registered sellers and 96 items listed for sale. The site has had one sale already and has also led to an order being placed. The current traffic to the site is an average of 40 visitors per day at the minute and that is without much in the way of advertising.
In addition to the selling section i have also developed the main site to include additional resources such as the crafters directory, the calendars feature (which now includes NI, IE and UK events), a tutorial section, and a useful resources section. Some of these areas still need additional work as i don't have much in the way of content added just yet, but it is shaping up well i think.
I do have more plans for the site, which i will be working on in the near future. In the meantime i want to try and focus on getting the content added now because i know that will add value to the site for everyone!
