Shopping cart woes

My hubby is great. He is not only an amazing graphic designer (designed my TK Jewelry logo and “the girl”) he also strives to make the TK Jewelry web site as modern and functional as possible. He’s always looking for new cool ways to make the site more dynamic. Yes – I am totally stealing his lingo – but I sound like I know what I’m talking about right?

Anywho – we had some trouble with VirtueMart (our online shopping cart through Joomla). It seems that VM has been having some trouble for many folks. Which sucks cuz all the inventory and descriptions are in there … hours of work … gotta be tossed.

He looked into a couple other options (Zen Cart is at the top of the list), however given the time constraints of several upcoming shows, I’ve opted to use Etsy.com instead. There’s a lot of built in functionality to Etsy, including options to add up to 4 photos, lots of networking and cross-marketing potential. In addition, their prices are very reasonable.

I have a lot of work ahead of me – taking newer, better, more dynamic photos and writing descriptions. There’s always something!!
