Ugh! The lighting is horrible, I need to get Melissa to take me better photos...

They're up! A lot of the pieces I selected aren't online because artists haven't allowed that product (HINT!) and more designs will be available later, but here's a start!

If there are any designs you can't live without on a purse, lemme know and I can see if they'll work and ask the artist for permissions. Limited stock! And they tend to get backordered at my supplier!

Dang, those look nice!

Do you have dimensions/internal shots up on the website? ( I looked quickly, but didn't see'em). Also, what age the purses made out of? And what's the transfer process?

I haven't been able to get internal shots that don't look atrocious - the black on black doesn't photograph well. I added dimensions and some more description to the FAQ! The smaller handbag is a satin black material, and the purse and wallets are a pretty good faux leather. See if you think the FAQ is clear, or if it leaves you with more questions that I can answer. :) (Updated again like 2 seconds ago...)

FAQ looks good except for one thing: you say they are printed with ink. Is it reasonably water resistant? If so you might want to add that to the faq, as a purse, unlike most of the other items you sell might be outside with you when it rains.

Oh, it's entirely water resistant and washable! I should definitely add that...

In the section where one might by a purse (as on, say, http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/fantasyart/emgproduct.php?id=629) , and it says:
Purses
Coin purses, wallets and handbags.
Add to Cart | wallet: $17.50
Add to Cart | purse: $30.00
Add to Cart | purse flap: $10.00

Can you specify sizes there? It's not clear which of those 2 purses is being offered or how one might specify which type of purse one wanted -- faux leather/hoizontal or satiny/vertical etc.

Thanks.

There *should* be more information, including dimensions and details, when you hover the mouse over the actual product name (wallet, purse, etc.). I'm not keen on that layout and have been wanting to code in a pop-up, or SOMETHING there that makes it obvious that there's more info hiding in that spot.

I do see the tool-tips, but they get cut-off (Firefox 2x (I think) on Win XP). I think older browsers might not support the title tooltip thing -- can't off hand remember the details.

How about an appearing/disappearing div with info? These rely on javascript, but you could default to visible for those users without it.

Some examples:

Uses CSS z-index positioning & javascript

and very straight-up Javascript: http://www.netlobo.com/div_hiding.html

mmm, p.s. you could code the links with a class like class="moreinfo" and apply an image to that class to visually distinguish that sort of link from a regular link. Example: http://community.middlebury.edu/~herpatlas/spp_pages/sppP-cinereus.php
The green arrow at the link to google showing it's gonna take you offsite (also same technique on the table of contents frame -- visible if you click the home link at the bottom -- the "new" image on some of the links.)

(Not my favorite site design -- inherited with no budget to better it -- but one of the highest traffic sites I get to work on. Usefulness wins again! *laugh*)

Thank you so much for these links! After much fussing, I have added it to my pages, and discovered that some of the descriptions I added have been cut off. It needs a little cleanup (in my copious free time. :P), but is much better already. Thanks! :)

I have about 12 of each in stock and do plan to carry them from now on, but my supply company has been back-ordered both times I've placed orders, so I don't know HOW reliably I'll be able to stock them.
