New Store Design

I made some big changes today.  I decided to change my "Pam's Designs" store dramatically today.  It definitely takes quite a bit of time.  I redesigned my banner, my logo, my category icons on the front page, and inputted a background image along the sides of my store using CSS coding (yet more coding to learn).

It's nice to finally have a good grasp on my photo editting program and a keener eye for detail.  I think this will be the last time I edit my store.  I really like this one.  After I had completed my storefront a few months ago, I was never fully satisfied with it.  This one passed the test.  If I go in the other room for awhile and walk in later and take a glimpse of the screen and think, 'Wow, that's really nice,' then it's a keeper.

It was funny, when I first started designing, I would leave the room, come back and think, 'That's really not very good.'  At least I can be honest with myself.  It's hard not to be biased.

Fine Tuning

Once in awhile, I simply have to dedicate my time to fine tuning my store.

I noticed the other day, when I was looking through Zazzle stores for wedding invitations for my Best Wedding Invitation Templates' Squidoo Lens, that it was much easier to navigate the page and I was more willing to use these people's designs when they posted pictures of what was in the folders.  I realized that this is something that I have yet to do in my own store.  So, today is the day, that I dedicate to sprucing up my store.  Here is my progress so far... Floral Invitations

This is an example of one of the category icons.  I think it really makes a big difference from the standard folder.  Plus it makes browsing much easier.

Since I posted this photo on my BLOG, I've actually made more changes....fine tuning the fine tuning.  Revised Floral Invitations.
