Hey Karen,

Good luck in your new venture. And hope your first advert is as success as you hope for.

Just a note about your website. I think you need to change the colours of fonts from grey and white to darker colour such as Black. Since your background is white, fonts are blending in and as such its dificult to read.

Best Wishes anyway.

Hi Karen, and welcome to the forums! You have some lovely cards on your site, and very good prices!

I would agree with the above comment on the fonts - making them darker would make it easier to read. I would also suggest adding more information about each product - there were some like Funky Foam which looks interesting but I have no idea what it is - an explanation and possible uses would help.

Hope you enjoy the forums!

Welcome to the forum Karen. Really nice site.

If you haven't already, pop over to my wife's LAM Design site and add your site to the links - she is always looking for complimentary businesses to link to.

Hi Karen

Lots of comments so far about how reasonably priced the cards are.

I think you could charge a lot more, especially if personalised.

If you are looking for an additional outlet, one of my clients has a wedding shop and might either be interested in stocking your cards, or she does have a referral scheme.

Let me know if you think that would be of interest to you

Good luck with the business

Regards

Graham

Hi

I normally do charge more, but its an opening offer! But they are usually bit more dearer.

I would definately be interested Re: your client. Please email me or PM me. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I think you should make your images a bit larger on the details pages.

They are all so very small that each and every one has to be enlarged before a decision can be made which makes browsing rather stilted.

I think your images could be improved - some are rather dark but you will get better at these in time.
