Ever closer to reality

Ok, so the first batch of items are ready and set up in the catalog for the website; and now it is down to the nitty gritty details. Having never done this type of webshop prior, my reservations are mostly because of wanting potential customers to like not only what is being sold, but other details about us as well.  And that means a lot of patience.

When I approached this initially, never in my wildest thoughts would I have imagined the amount of detail that goes into creating an e-commerce shop on the web! The catalog seemed daunting itself, but that feeling quickly passed once all the ins and outs were understood. Now, the GTC, The Privacy Statement, customer database, sales database, etc., every last little bit of detail must be created, looked over, looked over again, get a cup of coffee, and then looked over for a third time. All T's are crossed and i's dotted.

I look forward to the days when we can hire an e-shop assistant, but for now it is a valuable learning experience in understanding how the business will be run.
