Thanks guy!

Kim - It`s steady-busy. There was a big influx of orders at first, but nothing I couldn`t manage. Now it`s just steady. I`m working a lot - but it`s not in a panicked state thankfully. Just steady. Designing and launching the new site took a lot of my time last week.

Chris... are you trying to say it only took a week to build your site? That`s
great!

Vincent - Yes, I design the look in Illustrator, then I slice it up in ImageReady and bring it into Dreamweaver. Then I worked on getting the CSS just right which took a whole day because I never did CSS before. Once I got the styles done it was pretty easy to move stuff from my old site to the new one - except for the actual shopping pages which took a lot of reconfiguring.

I`m fortunate to have a background in graphic design - but I am also self-taught in that as well. I am only a HS grad, but I`m good at learning on my own I guess. I just get books - like the Dummies books, and try to absorb it. For CSS I just searched the web for tutorials.

Thanks for the compliments!

Chris -

Definate bravo`s on your new site.  If you ever sell off Dippy Chick you`ve got a future in web design.  You know, just something to play with once you`ve made your millions!!
