    You're so right George. Spelling mistakes jump off the page at me. I'd be put right off buying from someone who's site was full of grammatical and spelling errors. Mind you, my spelling isn't what it once was.

    If you're dyslexic, or have problems with spellings, please make sure you either use a good spellcheck, or better still, ask somebody to proofread for you.

    There are few things more offputting in a website than bad spelling, punctuation and even grammar. They just imply a lack of pride and professionalism, and there's no excuse for them.

    I'm not that keen on mangling the English language on forums either.
    and what makes you think my english is bad ??

    I'm sure George wasn't referring to you specifically Silvergirl - there are a whole load of us on the Cookson Forum on the precipice of launching a website and it sounded like good general advice to me

    That's good news

    With your name, have a think about what image you want to promote around your jewellery, e.g posh high end, affordable, etc etc, and see if you feel your name fits in with that.

    Otherwise the name sounds OK to me, Silver Girl Jewellery just popped into my head, which kind of sounds OK too, to me any way

    Hi Silvergirl

    Well done that's really exciting news!
    I agree with Agent 44 about the name - I think it would be really useful to think about who it is that you want to sell your jewellery to and think carefully about what is going to appeal to them. Try putting yourself into your customers shoes and have a surf on the net - see what is enticing and what other people have done that works.
    For me, the name 'jewellery 2 go' suggests something fast moving, contemporary, instant, cutting edge and speedy - if that's the image that you want to portray then that's all good!
    Good luck & keep us updated
