Feb 29th, Leap Year Update: I just had to add this video update to the post, so you guys can just see how excited I am!!!
And now, a shot of the new HOMEPAGE!!!!!!!!!!
I think our designer is going to add just a bit more green to warm things up, but so far we are looking CRAFTY! Let me know your thoughts!!!
Feb 22 2008 - UPDATE:
We have the wireframes done, woot woot!! Now we need to polish the design and begin installation. WHEW! What a ride, but so worth it. Building a brand as exciting as Crafty Nation is really about taking your time to do things right. As we are trying our best for YOU!!! Stay tuned…
Feb 1 - Well, as many of you know, we here at Crafty Nation are hard at work revamping the website and installing new software that will make the site do everything but finish your creative projects for you. We were shooting for a relaunch before Thanksgiving, but lo an behold, another web developer gone south! That’s ok, it worked out (again) for our best. The new team on board is nothing short of “amazing” and we know you will love the new design and the new features (tons) that we’ll be offerin!!
As we said before, when we finally come out of hiding, the wonderful things you’ll be able to do on the site will be phenomenal! If you are already familiar with social media and social networking sites, then you know how many features have currently evolved in the Web 2.0 world. Crafty Nation is going to be a “combination” of both, which means that not only will you have a profile and project gallery and all the goodies that go with them, but you will also be able to interact with the show by rating episodes, submitting your comments on content and your suggestions for what you’d like to see! You’ll also be able to interact with each other’s projects, and work together in the collaborative work spaces of the site to design and refine new projects.
- All the usual social networking features you’ve come to know and enjoy! (Groups, forums, friends)
In addition:
- Points and Rewards
- Contests
- Featured Artists
- Classifieds (sell your work with NO commissions)
- Local events and meetups
- Submit links (similar to delicious)
- Project Gallery where you can put step by step photos and instructions of stuff your working on
- (great collaboration tool!)
- Customizable profile
- Report Offensive Material (we depend on it!)
- Publish you own blog with your own RSS Blog Feed
- Guestbook feature
- Promote your business
- Help customize the content of our show
- Online Classes (coming soon)
We’ll keep y’all posted!!
Best,
Toni Lyn
