Several months ago I announced here, and in our company newsletter, that we were designing a new website. After a lot of thought, we decided to put a halt to the project.
As a business owner I learned a lot through the design process. I shared my thoughts in a discussion at www.indiebeauty.com, in this post.
Recently, as I came across several people in similar circumstances (paying for products that were not what they should have been), I felt compelled to share my web desinger negative experience with everyone, here, to even more readers. Getting what we pay for, and not accepting less, is crucial. Our time and money has to be well-spent. At the beginning of a project, even during the planning stages, never ignore the red flags. Listen to your intuition. It will pay you back.
As far as the Annie’s Goat Hill website is concerned, we are re-vamping. I am excited about bringing in fresh new photos, streamlining, and the re-writing of verbage. You may even see some of the website pages moved to this blog. This blog is the information post, the website is the online store center. There is a system!
Onwards!
Annie’s Goat Hill Handcrafted Soaps – Smell and Feel the Goodness!
Got rid of our farm websites awhile back since we were dealing with people that are the type that tie out goats. Then we decided not to breed or sell anymore too and ever since we took down our websites the e-mails have quit coming.
My blog is mainly about my family, photos, etc. which I just posted some recent pictures of my 2 week old niece and her big sister’s! She has lovely grey-blue eyes and her 7 year-old sister and 5 year-old sister both have lovely brown eyes. She looks so much like her late Papa, he passed away 4 years ago (it was 4 years in January).

I don’t understand how people expect to stay in business if they will not deliver what they say they will.
Sorry you must deal with this.
It was a relief to let the project go. I cannot say it was not disappointing. But it was definitely a “close the door and open a new one” type of thing when I decided to move on.
