So i havent posted on riu in a year or so but im just finishing up my new website for my business partner. He has been a glass artist for over 15 years and finally is making an effort to create an online presence. for now all i have is the free version of the site that ive created and im looking for opinions. Also if you want a quote on any completely custom glass orders you might want. send me a pm or an email at [email protected].
the website for now is http://cadeanderson51690.wix.com/white-city-glass#!faq/ciag and its kinda slow but im working on it and i would appreciate any advice. obviously the address isnt perrmanent yet also, just need to do some fine tuning before i purchase i decide on a domain.
thanks guys!

Man ive had a very similar idea in the past. I think its the way to go.
I think you could also have a section with like 5 to 10 bong designs templates. Then select things like: size, width of tube, ornaments, ice notches etc.
Perhaps similar for bubblers and dabbers? Although i think those are where people would really have a sketch in their mind and send it in, perhaps for bongs is where you could have more 'design your own' bong online sort of thing.
Keep at it man, and you dont ship overseas do you?

thanks for the advice i have been working on it in my free time which is not as often as id like. also i have never shipped overseas but i dont see why not as long as the shipping would be paid for. send me a pm if you would like to talk more about that, but anyways i think i am going to purchase my domain name this coming Wednesday.



Planning on taking the custom orders thing seriously though, i have come up with a sort of template for customers to order custom glass, it will take more communication than just ordering something from an online shop, but at least to start it could be good and help to give our company a more personable aspect to it.

the pics i added is my favorite dab piece that ive had made custom for me

for sure, im still fine tuning a few things on my website and am planning to launch it by the end of may at the latest, but any glass that anyone wants custom made, my partner can make awesome replicas from a picture or even a description and if you send a picture along with a description i can give anyone an idea of how much it would cost to have made.
I generally get my glass at 65 percent of the retail price so i can get you guys some good deals to get the word out.
also i wouldnt require any payment upfront for users with a good rep on roll it up and of course i would send a finished picture of the glass before asking for payment
