I'm nuts about T-Shirts
Unless you've been hiding under a rock or vacationing off the planet, you will have undoubtedly heard of the recent "Occupy Wallstreet" movement. At first it was interesting, now it's just become comical and rarely do I hear any really good reasons as to why I should really care.
In Los Angeles, they are shutting down the 405 freeway for three whole days in order to remove a bridge that needs to be demolished. The media aptly named such an event "Carmageddon", being LA and all it needed to very dramatic.
I was thinking of how "cool" it would be to have a shirt of the day type of thing going, until I thought long and hard about the work that would require. Creating the design is the easy part, it's the making, shipping, doing actual work part that makes we wonder if that's a good idea or not.
Another aspect that I need to consider is whether or not people actually want this kind of thing. How many "Shirt of the Day" type of sites are already out there? Probably a ton, just by doing a quick search there seems to be many of them.
I know it seemed like it took forever, but I've finally gotten around to adding a "Buy It Now" button to the website. Now any shirt, sticker, hat or otherwise that I'm selling on the site can be purchased. I decided to go with PayPal because it seemed to me the easy for people to use. I contemplated going with a more full blown eCommerce package, but at the end of the day I wanted something simple that allowed me to sell shirts and stuff and not have to worry about payment systems and setting up a whole business.
I'm just nuts about design and shirts, and more specifically designing shirts. So it's up and working, and if there are any issues please let me know.
Ok, I give up. I'm getting so many emails about where the shopping cart is, I guess it's time to come clean. Currently there is no shopping cart on my site. Honestly I never had the intentions of selling the shirts outright. I had always planned on using this platform as a way to showcase the shirts I liked and hopefully someone would come along and buy my designs. Well the inverse of that has happened, so I find myself in a dilemma, and whether or not I should add a shopping cart to the site.
We are still trying to iron out all the kinks of this new website, but one things for sure. We have a ton of content to bring you in the next several posts. While the site is getting built we've been working hard to bring you some awesome shirts that we ourselves are proud to wear. That's right stuff we wear ourselves.
There is also some thing even better to look forward to, Yup that's right we are going to do a weekly drawing for a free shirt. It's going to be seriously simple.
