Welcome to Our Redesigned Website • August 10, 2008

As many of you know, this year has been one of big changes at beadweaver.com. Early in the year, the company that had been been providing our shopping cart closed down abruptly. I needed to come to a decision very quickly about how to replace our web presence and I put up what became a temporary site that I was not very happy with. But turning lemons into lemonade, I decided to look at this as an opportunity to redesign our entire online world, from the ground up. After 7 years of hands-on experience, I knew exactly what I liked about the web site, and what I wished it could do. And as much as I enjoyed doing it all myself, I knew this was the time to get some help. I am now working with a wonderful company, that is helping my vision become a reality.

We were planning on launching everything on September 2nd, but due to some unexpected problems with the old, temporary site, you are getting a bit of a preview with these pages. So feel free to look around, and let me know what you think. Workshops, craft shows, directions, contact info, mailing list, and a number of other areas are up and running. Nearly everything else will be launching on September 2nd, including a new and vastly improved online bead store, a jewelry shopping area, and much more! In the meantime, thank you for your patience, and enjoy the site!
