    Default Websites....

    Hi, I did'nt quite know where to begin either when it came to having a website but then my husband discovered Mrsite.com where you can buy a package it cost £39.95 i think and pretty easy to use. I can't post my website for you to have a look so if you wish you can email me colemanwx@hotmail.com and i will send you a link.

    I am using mrsite to do my web site and am happy with it at the moment - not finished yet but doing it slowly. My brother is a web programmer and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole - but that's because he knows what he is doing on the programming side. Mrsite is effectively a load of templates that you can customise yourself. Don't buy it through their site though, get it through Amazon for half the price - one off charge for a year. ou can get your own .co.uk or .com etc name and e-mail addresses, if it is not already taken too - that's one of the most effective marketing tools I think... looks more professional. The Pro package gives you the shop and you will need a paypal account to operate it. After the first year you go onto a pay monthly (£7.99) system, but you should know by then if it works for you or not.

    Dano - Folksy is just the english version of Etsy (I agree with your comment )

    I can promise you that www.simplyeddies.co.uk is the best! you can get a website on there from £39.99 a year (+ domain name)Paypal comes with it and if you should have a problem you actually get to speak to someone who is not only English but lives in this country! I know because the company I was with before 'did me down' and Simply Eddies saved me!

    research your fairs.....often its not you just not the right market....who do you want to sell your jewellery to? (what kind of person buys your jewellery...think age, sex, demographic), then where do they go......not just craft shows, consider exhibitions, specialist fairs, if you make for example dog jewellery how about dog shows. At homes at Xmas or open studios for your region. Can you wholesale? Local boutiques for example?

    I get phone calls all the time from SEO (search engine optimisation) companies who can guarantee to me that I'll be 'top of Google'.

    My soon to be husband is a web developer and he says its a load of rubbish, which I'm sure it is.

    Be very wary of EVER paying out for SEO.

    I mean how can they guarantee it anyway and for what keywords? I am top of google if you type my name in and I didn't pay for that. Imagine being top for typing in silver jewellery - no amount of money can ever make that happen I'm sure!
