Personal Websites?

Do any of you ladies have personal websites? Editing to clarify… your own website for your reborn doll sales etc…

I do. I have one I haven’t really kept up, and then I have my Halloween site where I have just posted my first doll…the site has been up for decades but I never sold on it before. And then I have a Facebook page.

I do but I deactivated it a while ago to redo some of it and haven’t got around to finishing it yet, I’m planning on getting it up and running again this month so that I can offer after pay on my dolls

I have one! I haven’t used it for sales yet but I’m pretty happy with the rest of the features, like my porfolio and FAQ. In the future I can use it to take credit card payments using Square. I decided to use Square because it was recommended by Emily Elliott in her YouTube class.

Lovely but doesn’t all fit on my iPad screen. It is too wide? I may be the only one though?

Yes, I have had that problem happening this year… I wondered if it was just our computers or the site… I have 2 computers in my office and my husband has 2 in his. They are LG, Lennox and HP computers so all different brands but found it happening on the Lennox and HP ones so thought it was just those computers :unamused:… I just made a new website for my husbands Real Estate Consulting Business and it is doing the same thing… We had to downsize to almost 50%… I need to contact the website and see what is going on with that… They have updated their site over the last few months and even though it is supposed to be better with more features, it is the dickens to navigate around… I am a bit adverse to extreme change though so probably me…haha! Thanks for letting me know it happened to you as well.

I remember Wix, I used to have one of those when I was in college. It was originally a website builder using Flash and it was awesome, but when Adobe bought Flash from Macromedia they killed it and refused to update it, so everything using Flash was made obsolete, including all websites from Wix :frowning: Last I checked Wix switched to HTML5 but they’ve been struggling ever since the jump. Def reach out for support, your website content is great but it doesn’t even size correctly on my new MacBook Pro. I hope they can fix it or you can port your site somewhere else :heartpulse:

Wow, thanks so much for the info… I only have it formatted for desktop… I have never bothers formatting for mobile or tablets or whatever they call them these days… that is really good to know though so I am going to check and see if there is another one… I am not computer savvy so to speak and just fumble my way around till I figure it out… I won’t bother moving my site as I don’t need it now but I will need to check into all that for my hubby’s site… No one as told us there was a problem so I very much appreciate Pia and you letting me know and the info about the ‘behind the scenes problems’ - I was totally oblivious about that… :flushed:

You have so many other skills!! don’t even worry about it, these things change without our control and I blame Wix for not helping you with the updates. Their job is to be a website host, your’s is to make dolls, so I think it falls on their shoulders.

Feel free to PM me about anything, I’m pretty computer savvy but to be honest I rely a lot on YouTube tutorials. Here is one that might help with the mobile view. Lots of people these days only use their mobile devices (which includes iPhones, Android phones, tablets, and iPads) to browse and shop these days so it’s important, when you have the time <3

Thank you SOOOOOO very much… I will go watch these and also thank you for the offer to help with any questions… I am amazed that I have not crashed a computer or two with my ‘fiddling around’ self teaching etc… haha! My hubby told me that it depends on how you look at it but my lack of fear about permanently damaging the computer could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing…haha! Good - I am happy to give it a go and see what I can figure out, Bad - my luck may run out one day and I crash one of our computers… :blush:

Yes~ I haven’t added any updates in a while but I’m debating on whether to renew this year or not~ I really did enjoy creating it though!
