HELF

[ewt]

List of elements I'll need in a fake hair website:


-products: falls (plain yarn, knitted yarn, braidy yarn, lace, ribbon, rexlace, fleece, wraps, rags, velvet?, twists), double-ended knitted dreads, hairbands and headbands, other accessories
-pricing structure - length, twin/solo, material, count
-galleries
-colours and textures
-care
-instructions
-news
-customer reviews
-auctions
-shipping & postage
-faq
-links
-link to us
-order form
-gift certificates
-policies
-contact


Did I miss anything? Is there anything else I need to have on there?

My plan is to have examples of various types of hairfall and a custom order-form, as well as links to eBay auctions (or perhaps just a 'premade falls' page?) of any pre-made ones I end up with (surplus stock from the market stall in December for example).

I also need to decide whether I will be 'us' or 'me'.



The biggest problem I have right now, however, is trying to choose a name. I'm afraid 'Ewt's hair stuff site' isn't really going to cut it... however, I would like to get 'ewt' in there somewhere, I have been 'ewt' in one form or another since I got online and it would be really odd not to have it. Fewturelox? Newtails? Bewtiful hair? Synthewtic? Ewtimania (mane, get it?)? Ewtlocks? I am stuck, stuck stuck stuck. Please to help.

Quite like 'Newtails' - makes me think of a horses mane streaming out in the wind as it gallops along. (and yes, I do know that the tail is the other end!!)

Best way to check out what you need / may have forgotten is to look at the websites of the competition and see what they do, then do it better.. (and I must say, I thought your hair last Saturday was absolutely wonderful :-)

ps. some people (like, indeed mysaelf, prefer to collect things where possible rather than risk delivery services that always seem to try to deliver when I am out/away)

Done that. And thanks. :)

I'd be a bit wary about Strangers From The Internet coming to my home to pick stuff up and I don't have a physical shopfront (although perhaps something could be arranged...). I also have an already-tight schedule involving lots of busking and teaching and possibly some *ff*c* w*rk... but I would be willing to arrange to meet people in London to exchange money and hairfalls (probably between busking slots). I'll make a note of that and put it in the shipping options.

I rather like the idea of Newtails too....

If you want any custom artwork for the site, give me a yell - I may be able to come up with something appropriate. :-)

Ewtmania! Newtails sounds like a pokemon to me, but then again I might be obsessed...

ewt-mane-i-a!

I agree; Newtails sounds good. Maybe you should play a bit with capitalisation. *hint hint*

Ewtlocks and Fewturlox are my favorites.

I rather liked "Bewtiful hair" and "Ewtlocks". Especially the latter has a nice ring to it.

name? no Logo?

Hi Daughter Dearest,

Back when I was first starting out I did a lot of research and found out that a logo is far far more important than a name. Logo recognition is about 7 times "better" than name recognition. I wonder if it is possible to combine the name with a logo? Perhaps a stylized EWT or monogram?

nEWTails, EWTails? EWTlocks?
