Well friends, we’re still waiting for that first wave of sales. We’ll keep reviewing, adjusting, and trying out new things until we get there.
- New categories, but also keeping the old ones. These new categories are based on the origin or purpose of the designs. The past categories were based on the shirt fabric. Both categories still work, but the customer first sees the ones based on purpose. These are Brother Ray’s Tees, Flip the Tables, Dandelion Faith, Patriotic Faith, Women of Valor, and Everyday Discipleship. This includes creating the new categories, creating the displayed graphic for the categories, changing every one of the 190 products to have a second category, and the most tricky was getting WordPress to only display the parent categories on the homepage.
2. Create a new category, which holds all the past categories. The new category is called, “All the Threads.” Once the customer clicks on “All the Threads,” they see the Classic T-Shirts, Modern Tees, Women’s Tees, Relaxed Fit Tees, Sweatshirts, and Hoodies. Both are still accessible.
3. Change the menu’s for mobile and desktop to match the purposeful categories.
4. Ensure the website is running well. Review any emails, reviews left, etc. and delete the spam.
5. Read my old posts to see what still needs done, didn’t see anything else I wanted to act on just yet. 1
6. We discovered some people saw a message at the bottom of our site saying it was a demo site. This default message is now off (maybe activated by an update).
7. Updated all product descriptions with the number of shirt color choices.
8. Created more products on Galilee-Life to mirror products on my website.
- Want to remove DigitSoft from all the descriptions. Want to move all shirt details (oz, care, etc to long description). Want to include sizing charts are graphics (maybe). ↩︎
Update on the footnote 1: it’s done. It took like 6 hours or so total, in 1-2 hour sessions to remove DigitSoft from all the descriptions and to move all shirt details from short description to the long description. I wasn’t going to do this for a while, but I noticed, most likely during the price updates from a couple weekends ago, there were like stray single quotes in odd places. Well, that wouldn’t do. So, I did all the updates, except adding the sizing charts as graphics. I didn’t like the way that looked. Ok, I sure hope I don’t have to update almost 190 descriptions again any time soon.
