Some question...

[Hannahstutus]

My current website is a mess and I really need something super easy I found a girl with some cute page graphics I will prob purchase from ..

1. I dont want to point my domain name this way until I have the templates in and info at the very least because I worry about how long my website will be down and right now is my busy busy time. (I dont have a shopping cart currently so while working on that I can have the first page do like my current page and say to email me...) How long did it take for your domain to be back and working?

2. I need to have a photo gallery to show examples on girls, how would I set that up without having to do all the product info?

3. I would also need similar page to host all my tulle color options again how is that done.

Are there people out there that will actually perhaps work on getting your products and info in your site for reasonable cost if needed?

Thanks ahead of time

my current website is www.hannahstutus.com so suggestions would be great

Hi there, welcome to shoppepro...to answer your questions....
1. You don't have to point your domain to our nameservers until you are ready. You will have a temporary url in which you can load your template, your products, your pages,etc. When you are ready to go live, you then can point your nameservers. Yes, you can make your home page have a message that states to email you as well. Sometimes once you point your nameservers it happens almost instantly, other times a few days, depending on your current host.
2. We do have photo gallery option. It will come with your services.
3. You can have as many pages as you like, so the tulle color options would be easily done, and I believe that Karina has a tulle color chart already done that you can purchase.
4. Yes, there are people who will load your products for you, I will look up a few and give you their contact information.

And yes, your current site loads very very slowly, so a change is definitely in order!

I would like to add that once you get the hang of it, it is very, VERY simple to load products using the MALs shopping cart that Shoppe Pro utilizes. It is great because in the long run, it will save you a TON of time because you won't be sending invoices, answering as many emails, etc as you probably are right now just taking orders through email. You can just set it up with all the options you offer, color charts, pictures, and let them put it in the shopping cart. Once they place an order, you can print a detailed packing list that tells exactly the options that you have set up (size, color, flowers added, etc.) You can price these options accordingly too, so it does the math. I am sure that if you take the time to learn the system (and it is rather easy), you will find that your time is more than made up for by not having to process each request through email and invoicing. Of course, as mentioned, having products added by another person is a great option to get you started, and it doesn't have to cost you a fortune. After looking at your site, you have some beautiful modeling pictures!!! As mentioned, they were quite slow though, so if I were an actual customer shopping, I may not have the patience to wait for them to upload. That would be my recommendation--take advantage of the professional pictures you have to showcase your product, and make it easy for someone to purchase a tutu without ever having to email you or wait for a response. I know that personally, when I shop online, I want to pick my item, click my buttons, pay for it, and wait for it to come...all in one step. I likely wouldn't buy from a site that requires an emailed response. Just my two cents. Have a great day!
