I'm taking a quick break from data entry to tell you the exciting news: My new website is up and everything works! Hooray! After hours of learning a new software and tweaking the settings so everything is just perfect, the shopping cart works, the shipping calculations work (to the penny), and, well, it all seems to be in good shape. Whew!
The Best Part Is...
...that I've added a few features that I love, love, love:
Each listing shows you how much stock I have on hand so you can immediately put the yardage you want into your shopping cart. Woohoo! This is a huge advantage over the Etsy shop, where we had to message back and forth so I could set up custom listings for everything over 1 yard. No more waiting for that custom listing! Do you love that, or what?!
Each listing allows you to buy yardage as well as fat quarters of that particular color. So you can easily fill your shopping cart with exactly what you need!
There's a Wishlist where you can add items so you'll remember your favorites and things you'd like to purchase in the future. You can also share your wishlist with others who'd like to shop for you.
I'm still listing fabric, and hopefully, by tonight, it will all be there. It just takes time to set up each one, and as long as I don't run out of steam (or caffeine!), I'll keep plugging away at it until everything is there. If you need fabric, though, please don't hesitate to contact me with your request and I'll get your fabric listed right away.
I'm so encouraged by the feedback I've received already from you here and on my facebook page. If you're on facebook, I'd love to see you there! My page is SimplySolidFabric.
Looks great so far! I'll place an order tomorrow morning when you have more fabric listed :)

Sorry to hear about your etsy saga but so glad I found you again! Also I have to say I love online shops with the wishlist facility. I'm looking forward to placing an order at your new shop.
