Bows and stuff web site... Ok, I think I have to face it and start seriously thinking about a web site... I have no idea how to build it, I have no idea how to name it, but I have tons of stuff in my head, so, if you would like to help me naming it, I would love it!!! I think I will add more beside the bows, probably Belly bands, Training bells, Blankets, Beds, and I want to try some clothing...:eek: The thing is that finally I got my "sewing room" finished (after 4 years, lol) well the long story made short is that I had for almost 5 years two industrial sewing machines sitting in my garage, with my embroidery machine an more stuff... and, if you consider Texas weather, it was just impossible to use them there.... Finally I handled to get the time and the energy and the will of hubby to bring them upstairs, to the master retreat, and finally I will be able to use them!!! I can hardly wait, because I really love to sew, so, now, I need the name idea, considering my crazy self!!! HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!:D and thanks to all!!!:D |
Fantastic Isabel! I'm so happy to hear this. Here's a few ideas... Good Luck! Bed N Bows Bed, Bath N Bows Bows N Stuff Bows Your Way |
Oh wow - I like the Bows Your Way.....that's a good one! |
I like Bed, Bath and Bows....love that spin on Bed, Bath and Beyond. :thumbs_up AND CONGRATS!!! I have been waiting for this day to come!!!! YIPPEE! |
Oh Isabel! Good luck with the site. I am in the middle of setting one up myself for some car stuff I make and sell. Hehe. If you need help with finding a service provider let me know, I can give you some help.... |
If you really have no clue how to do it, maybe PM Kathryn_V and find out how much she wants for her domain name & website? It's already set up and she is selling it. If you just want to register a new domain name you should go to www.godaddy.com - they are the cheapest. As far as a website, you need to find a shopping cart application and then someone to design your site. You could always just do a Yahoo! or ebay store too. My husband is a programmer so he helped me as best he could. You might want to find a relative or local college student or designer who will make you a template for a couple hundred dollars. If you have specific questions, PM me. I just did this and it's not an easy process... Another idea is selling your bows "wholesale" and letting other people carry them! (Hint hint) But you want to carry other stuff too, so then you would need the creative outlet of a website. Although I think others on here do both! |
Wow, Erin, thanks for all the tips!!! That's why I have been procastinating it...but it seems to me a real need now... I should not spend a lot of money now like paying someone to build it for me, that's why I keep turning it around in my head... I really appreciate your offering of helping, and believe me, I will ask!!! You rock!!!:D |
I know there were several awhile back that posted in a thread when someone asked about starting up their own website....so if maybe you ask (like in Off Topics) or something.....you can find something if you do a search on here too (I'm sure). I know Missy (yougetthesmiles) had her site up for sale too (I don't know if still is or not). How about if you do just like Kimmie did with her recent sell.....She just used her photobucket OR some other site and listed the items she had for sale. (that way, she didn't have to upload all the pictures in her for sale thread on here. Would something like that work? Here is her thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98640 Also, have you checked with an eBay store? I don't know how much they are or if they are worth doing...or it it would even work for you or not. I am sure there are several on here that have an eBay store. Good luck!!! I hope you know that just shows how much we all love working with you and how much we love your bows!!! :thumbs_up :wub: |
I like bed, bath & bows. I use to make websites, but haven't done one is so long I'd have to make a practice one first. |
I like bed, bath and bows. And I like bows your way!!! Those are really creative!!!:) |
Thankss to all!!! I am serious this time!!! I even went to the fabric store and went crazy with stuff for some beds!!! I am obsessed, so I think I will be looking soon to start... Keep the names coming!!!!!!!!!!! |
Good luck on your site Isabel. I was thinking a good name would be ISABOWS if you were doing just bows. Can't think of anything else. I'm not very creative that way. Sorry. :) |
:D YEA!!! That's great Isabel! Scooter and I will be customers, you can bet on that! We still love his bows!! |

Isabows is a great idea!!! very creative :) wow...can't wait to see your site. i bet it will be so much easier for you to post your bows and beds like that!! i know it has helped me a ton!!!!!!! |
OK, what about: a) It's a lovely dog b) The charming dog boutique c) It's a lovely dog boutique I will have more than only bows... hopefully!!! Gosh!! I need help!!!:eek: ;) :D |
but do you want to cater to JUST dogs?? When naming my site...I used "Paw" instead of "dog" just in case I had other types of animals being pampered :) If you are thinking along the same lines, maybe "Charming Paws" or something like that??? don't make it too long or people won't remember it. Try not to use a, the, it, of...those types of words because people might not type it into the address and get confused. I would say to keep it simple but appealing. JMO :) |

I cant' wait to see what she comes up with!!!!!!!!!! then she gets to choose a "logo" and colors and all the fun stuff!!!!!! |
Try this one.They have premade templates and you can use your own logo.I use this one and a few others her have as well. I like the name " Bows..beds..and beyond" I don't remember who suggested that one. Have fun and good luck!http://members.freewebs.com/ |

You can pay a small fee,like 5 bucks a month to remove the adds. I think I pay like 20 bucks a year for my domain name waggiewonders.com I don't use my website much anymore. I need to get it in shape. Quote:
