Web Savvy
I wish more yarn stores were web savvy. And I don't mean that they have to be HTML gurus or slick webmasters. They don't even have to have online stores. They just have to know good from bad. Any maybe how to hire someone who makes good web sites. No flash, no frames, no flashing text. Just good content and a little photography.
Come to think of it, I wish all companies were more web savvy.
I have turned into such a web snob. I almost didn't go to Ewe'll Love It in Nashua because their web site wasn't so hot. Not to mention unfinished. From the looks of the site you'd never know that it was a great big store with all kinds of yarn I've only ever dreamed about touching. It was like one big yarngasm. I wanted to stay all afternoon, but they did have to close after all. Because they really don't have a store front on the street, they could really use a super spiffy web site to help generate traffic. Maybe I should ask them about it next time I'm there.

Sarah,
Yes. Ask them next time if you can help them with their web design. I see a contract web designer with technical background in the future.
