Finally a new layout
I have finally finished the layout I was working on 3 weeks ago. What do you guys think?
I’m going to be arranging all the content pages and also rewrite a few of them. Going to start off with the “About” page. I really dislike writing “about me” pages though because I never know what to write about when it comes to myself. I started several ”Health & Beauty” pages sometime ago but I haven’t written any for ages. I still have that massive list of all the different types of “Health & Beauty” pages I want to write. I will definitely start getting on with those.
Designing website or web pages really draws me into it. It makes me completely forget about everything around me. Last night I was drawing up a new front page for my store. I started at around 9pm and aimed to just do it for an hour then go to sleep. I was so lost in it that it was 10.45pm by the time I checked the clock. I ended up going to sleep at 11pm. I was super super tired at work today and falling asleep during work. I get up at 6.30am during weekdays so I only had about 6hrs sleep which isn’t enough for me. I need at least 8-9hrs of sleep a night.
Here’s a preview of what I’ve done so far:
I modified this from a pre-made template for the shopping cart application I’m using at my store.
I will get round to making a brand new layout from scratch but I need to familiarise myself with their template code first.
Quick reminded to everyone. The May giveaway ends at the end of this month so make sure you don’t miss out.
such a pretty layout
I wish i Had coding skills.
good luck finishing/redoing the design it looks really good so far

Woot! The new layout looks super awesome, I totally love it!
I really like the overall design. Everything fits in together real nicely. Great job Krystal!
Ahh, well I don’t like writing the ‘About me” page as well. I find it hard to talk about myself because I can’t think of anything interesting about myself to tell others.

i love the new layout – the sidebar is adorable! And the store preview looks great too. These curvy form fields are popular right now too – i want some!

Yeah my dad finally picked up the parcel, thankfully. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get the books and he would’ve lost $50. :/

OO I like the redesign! The comments page is a bit off. The box is like..really off to the right.
But anyway, since it’s summer, I’m going to have so much more time to do stuff for the site as well.
OMG I get so cranky when I don’t get 8-9 hours of sleep too. But when I redesign my websites, I start at 10 pm & look at the clock 7 it’s 6 am. -_- haha. I’m a bit crazy.. haha

BTW I was wondering if you were going to start a line for rings. Because I love rings..haha.
& I’m a bit confused as to why the prices for your items are more expensive when I change it to USD because the British pound is actually weaker than the USD right now. Is it because of shipping?

aw fml. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOM WITHOUT DOING RESEARCH. -_- She’s in europe right now & was telling me it’s a great time to travel because the USD is stronger. Oh mom. -_-

Ahh the new layout is really pretty!
I love how you used that style for your site name, like your shop. It’s very nice and I love the colours as well. 
I hate when I’m so engrossed in something and time goes by without me knowing. Before I know it, it’s super late! :O
I don’t mind writing about myself but the truth is that I tend to ramble when writing about myself. Much like how I ramble in blogs.
I think the preview of the new shop front looks great! Very professional, and I love the big previews of some of your featured pieces.
I don’t know how much sleep I *need* but I know that if I don’t get enough, I get really tired during the day.
Also thank you very much for the tips on the shop, as well! I think it’s going to take me a while to set up but I guess I’ll have to see how I go. Some people have actually told me they think $20 is too expensive. I was a bit disappointed but like you said, they don’t really understand the effort you need! I could be super lazy and just ask who wants to reserve a piece and stuff, but I would rather have a cart and everything.
I hate rushing too, so working under pressure is not a good thing. I push myself with goals but I don’t like pressuring myself more than I can handle.
I don’t put my phone on silent because I use it as an alarm to wake me up. XD But thankfully I don’t get calls at ungodly times. XD

I am really liking your store site. It looks so official and professional like a business. =] Can’t wait to see the finished product. I often find myself staying up all through the night to finish a project as well. =/

awww.. i so so so love your layout….. so excited to know the winner for your give away
[Reply]
Haha thanks Krystal! <3
LOL I just hated Harry Potter. I sort of always did. I would go away when someone mentioned him. It's not that I didn't try to read the books. I did! But it was like EHH. I really don't like that kind of genre with magic and that kind of stuff. Fantasy just doesn't work so well with me. I'm giving it a go, though! Ahaha. It'll be funny to see how I fare after the first book.
Yeah, the dessert was like some kind of strawberry mousse/pudding.. fuuuu it was so yummy, I want more now. D:
Oh I SEE. I have the 3GS. I was looking for apps the whole time after I got the phone; I'm over it now haha. There are only a few apps that I use regularly. WordPress, Twitter, Tripview, to name a few.

I love the new layout, it looks great
I especially love the background image of each header, very nice touch! The preview of your shop looks wonderful as well, I can’t wait to see it in action!
I love re-writing the about section, but I guess it’s just because I’m more narcissistic than most people I know. Yes, I’m a closest narcissist

Good luck with the pages dear hehe. I always fin it hard to update/edit stuff because I’m just so lazy.
I’m a sleeping freak!
