sigh, with in the hour my godaddy website will be no more. sort of sad to see it's demise. it was a huge pain to use the 'back store' features.
for those of you who aren't familiar with all the things brick and mortar stores have to do to get product on the racks and shelves so you can buy it, there is so much work involved.
so i bought this godaddy website tonite and 'easy' shopping cart. oh my goodnes, i click on it for the first time and it's so foreign, thought about asking to intern in a retail back office so i could learn what to do. but eventually i figure out how it worked but it was soooo cumbersome. i just didn't upload my products for sale. (hey i'm not alone in not using a godaddy shop after purchase, i've got many friends that throw up their hands as well)
in an online store, there is a slew of things involved.: assigning product numbers, uploading inventory counts, taking pics and then editing them, sizing for the website uploads, writing your item descriptions, mangaing your categories and subcategories, yada yada
finally a fellow jewelry maker told me about a website deal with supadupame. they are a UK based ecommerce site and so much easier to use than godaddy.
so today i finally bit the bullet, forward important emails stored in the godaddy goldenwaters acct, copied item descriptions and cancelled my godaddy site. the good news is i get 5 months refund...yeah
then i had to redirect my domain name to the supadupa site. just waiting for that change to take effect, fingers crossed i did everything correctly.
boy i wear soooo many business hats in my one woman business
it's the creating that i love but these other things are so necessary but time consuming
