It all started by me doing my two daughters birthday invitations. People always compliminted me on my creativity. I slowly started doing birthday invitations and birth announcements for friends.
I always wrote websites for people's buisnesses. I helped people take their already successful brick and mortar stores or companies and helped them turn into (hopefully) successful online stores or companies. After doing several websites for random people I decided I wanted to think of away to combine my passion for programming and my love of crafting. The perfect combination for me was to create www.SassyfrassCreations.com.
It took a lot of trials and research before I felt like I knew enough to do this. Not only did I have to program and design a secure website, but I also wanted to offer the best product at the lowest prices.
The coding of the website came easy - the design not so much! I went through numberous color schemes before I finally landed on my current combo. Of course I am sure I will change it through the course of time.
Once the code was complete it needed content. I loved designing the individual cards. I could relate so much to what I was creating, so it was a blast. Finding time to upload the images to the database was another thing. I will gather a ton of designs and then finally go out to the database and upload them all.
The other challenge was research. I had to figure out logos, envelope sizes, where to print, what was already out there.
After figuring out all of that I had to come up with packaging.
Through out this blog I am going to document some of the areas that I went through to get my website up and going. Also, I have another section of how to select the perfect photo card. Basically both sides of the coin.
