Delaying the site changes!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Hello world!В  This is your captain speaking and we will be descending here shortly… lol, ok, enough with the flight jokes.В  So Since I’ll be launching ApplyMyWay.com here very shortly, and then I would like to put up my own petition website, since I sort of put up TONS of petitions every year (think I’m up in the hundreds easily now).

So the site will be redesigned… no doubt about that it NEEDS it.В  But it’ll be a little bit of time ya know?

Archmaille Designs site changes

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Hello everyone!В  So it’s true, we’re going to be doing some site changes… as much as we can we want to make the site an enjoyable place to be.В  We also want you feedback on what we’re doing!В  If you have any suggestions please by all means let them fly, we love to hear back from our customers and we love to put out the highest quality products in everything we do (whether that is jewelry, blogging, or web page design).

The old static design of the site just isn’t cutting it anymore so I think I’m going to completely redesign the site myself using CakePHP to make the most enjoyable shopping experience humanly possible for all of you Archmaille Designs or sterling silver jewelry customers out there!В  More information, more choices, easier to navigate, and easier to find in the searches.

Handmade Jewelry

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

And the weekend aproaches!В  I’m so eager to get back to the St. Louis Ren. Faire too!В  As I stated in the last entry I won’t be running my handmade jewelry booth out there this year, but I will most definitely be there. I would like to be running my jewelry booth, but it’s just not possible right now unfortunately.В  For next year I should (fingers crossed) be running the Young Artisan’s Guild where I may have my handmade jewelry booth, or if not at least be out there running it.В  If not a booth in the young artisan’s guild I will try to get more stuff made up so I can put up my own booth and have someone run that while I keep the young artisan’s section running.В  It shouldn’t be a problem for me to have a booth within the young artisan’s section since they’re kind of wondering how they’re going to get some other young people out there anyways at this point… I have a few ideas, but if you guys got anything please drop me a line!

Chainmail Jewelry

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Haha, so I’ve been out at the St. Louis Ren. Faire last weekend, and several weekends to come, just to be out there because I love the people more than anything.В  Well, last weekend I was talking to someone I met out there last year who was with a friend of hers.В  We started talking about why I wasn’t running my chainmail jewelry booth this year, which has much to do with the neglect I’ve offered Archmaille Designs in the past few months thanks to working for MTV.В  She was like “Oh my goodness I’m so sorry!” when I said I hadn’t touched my chainmail jewelry stuff in a matter of months… I kind of brushed it off a little bit thinking it was okay… but now, when I got back into the real world I find it terribly difficult to focus on any of my projects online!В  I only wish I could do chainmail work full time!В  Or anything that keeps me in the Ren. Faire world more often.

Child Jewelry Something Different…

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Child Jewelry is created to delight little girls with loving gifts that are different, personal and outstanding.

Handmade jewelry for children is ideal for your little angel as mass-produced child jewellery is common and ubiquitous – unsuitable to represent a very special person.

Handcrafted child jewelry truly conveys the significance of your gift – your princess is special and unique.

What is the perfect child’s jewelry gift for your precious?

With what children jewellery will you give your princesses to shower your love and make them happy?

We design jewelry for children based on the following values and principles. Are they what you are looking for?

Child Jewellery That Grows

Special consideration has to be given to size expansibility

Children grow rapidly and child jewelery should grow with them.

Rather daunting. You can’t feed jewelry to make them fatter or longer.

Somehow, we have to think of ways to introduce size adjustability and length extendibility.

The designs should be uncomplicated

Sophistication and intricacies are more sensible in adult jewelry.

Basic geometric and association with everyday objects should be more widely featured in children jewelery.

Favourite Colours

It will be great if the colour theme is uniform and stands out. That will make it easy for you to choose – according to your child’s favourite colour. Delight and acceptance by your dear little one is almost guaranteed.

They should be brightly coloured

Children and adults interpret colours differently. Children’s preferences on colours tend to skew towards the bright and cheery.

Some should be sweet

Isn’t that how she is? Sweet – the special one the jewelry is intended for?

It’s instinctive, isn’t it? To get something sweet for the sweet special one? And sweetly she shall smile, when you put it on for her.

Prices should be kept low

Children appreciate the visual and sensual impact of jewelry but not its price tag.

Jewelry tends to get lost more frequently with children than adults. Using expensive materials is less important with jewelry for children.

Keeping price low is practical and facilitates replacements.

Hard-wearing

Children may engage in more vigorous activities or tend to be less gentle with jewelry.

Although a modest price is preferred, it is desirable for the jewelry to provide exceptional quality relative to its price. Specifically, material used should be as hard-wearing as possible.

Our own values

Handmade child jewelry from Agalil are not mass produced products. We craft these jewelry with our own hands. The young lady who wears them may not fully appreciate but we will always insist on the core values of handcrafted jewelry:
uniqueness

individuality

soul

love

Ads on site

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I held off for a long time, but the revenue just isn’t coming in from Archmaille Designs so I had to put ads up. They’ll also be put here on the blog shortly, which I’ll no doubt post about when I get that done as well. I can’t sit around and make absolutely nothing from a site for so long. With all my other sites I’ve never lost money from having websites up, however, this one has not been paying for itself, and it needs to. I get 1,500 unique visits a month here which makes it the most active of my websites, and with 6,000 page views a month it should be doing better than what it is… unfortunately it is not so I must get it to making the kind of money that it should of been making all along.

Random update

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Hello my friends, and patrons! This is Cody your host and store owner :-D I’m just dropping in to say hello and happy holidays! I’ve been working fervently this season to get the best products available to my customers! It’s been a hard fight, and one that I fear I’ll have to mostly pick up for next year, but it has also been pretty good. I’ve been working on promoting the website, and it has been a particularly tough battle with ranks in Google! But we’re making our way :-)

Blacksmithing endeavor

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I am marking today 11/17/2007 as the day that I finally set out to begin my journey as a blacksmith. I will still keep the jewelry business alive, but will also be running a company beside it mostly for sword sales. Being that I don’t actually have any of the things needed to make swords and knives it will take a little while before I actually use the site, however I am opening a subdomain to officially house my sword, knife, armor, and various other blacksmithing items as a place holder.
