A New Beginning

WOW! We finally launched our website late last week.

It's been quite a journey and a number of products still need to be added or have their image modified.

I started this process nearly two years ago (and had a couple of false starts over the last 12 years). I spent about a year researching the best way to do my website given what I wanted to do. Everyone I contacted, of course thought I should use their software/method.

In the end I chose not to go with open source software but an ecommerce software package from the USA. No system is perfect but this one allows me a lot of freedom and flexibilty. I have a good consultant/web designer to work with (happy to make recommendations - see www.cameronsloutions.com.au).

The hardest part was coming up with a design - both Lisa and I spent many hours trawling istockphoto and my own photos for ideas. I had the logo, which I designed 11 years ago.
Eventually, the design was borne and I love it. Thanks Lisa.

Please visit the site - there's a lot on offer. It is a dynamic enterprise, like life. Enjoy. Tell us what you think - both good and bad. Make suggestions.

KISS for life,
peace to all,
Miriam.
