Do we know what we’re doing?
Who is we?!
Kinda. My product images are all over the place, but I like it.
Let’s Get Into It
The hosting
So, we’ve switched from WooCommerce to Shopify, back to WooCommerce to Shopify, now back to Woo.
I know what you’re thinking…
Dang! Can she make up her mind?
Well, Shopify is kinda expensive for a small business. Especially mine!
So, I am going with what I feel comfortable with and already pay for!
Our theme
Right now, I am going for an easily manageable theme.
Not too much, not too difficult. Simple enough to sell my products on.
Do we have a theme, though?
Website theme, sure. Like an actual template.
Now, an actual theme for the website and aesthetic is in development.
I don’t want my website to be junky or too uniform. Free ball!
Totally free balling!
Listen, website design is like baking a cake. Well, maybe if your oven is slow.
I don’t know code, but I am making it shake.
Plugins are my icing. Or are the product photos?
Professional photographer (lol)
I like my photos, but I’m debating my Instagram account right now because having a mystery business is more fun!
No, seriously, I am trying to curate my feed to be unique, kinda chic, and a dash of sexy. I’m moving away from the all-pink look and going for an edgier appeal.
Trying to grow up ya know!
Should the business grow as I grow
Debatable, but I get really bored with old things and have to spice them up.
Plus, I like other colors now.
Simple as that!
I promise it still follows the brand values.

If you are still reading
Making sure everything is clickable is the hardest part of building a website. Like, of course, my stationery headliner (it’s not called that) is not working. It leads to a blank page!
That’s a mess.
Buttons aren’t working, but products are uploaded, though.
Did you know
Not having my website together made me shy to post on Instagram! What can I promote if my site is a lil empty?
Plus, I was told I need to show more product photos on the gram, so I deleted everything!
Typical move by me.
Stop being indecisive
Okay, I needed to hear that as I build this “website”. It’s time to get back to my roots (I don’t know) and get to creating a usable site!
Maybe using Shopify wasn’t a bad idea after all.
We love a challenge, though!
Until the next business diary!
Oh, visit the website, plz.
