<p>If you’re a regular visitor to the website, you may have noticed something slightly different&#8230; Indie Handmade has had a re-vamp! Various bits and pieces had been bugging me for a while now and something had to give.</p>
<p>At the beginning of January I started brainstorming new designs and ideas. My main aim was to improve site-wide usability. I wanted to simplify things and have a tidy up as well as make everything generally more pleasing to the eye. Several scrap papers and obsessive self emails later and the new Indie Handmade is finally live to the world.</p>
<p><span class="help_title">Key Changes</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Important information pages (such as About, Contact &#038; Ordering) have been moved to the top of the website so that they are easier to locate.</li>
<li>The Shopping Cart has been made more of a feature. It&#8217;s visibly present at the top of every page throughout the website, with simple links to either view the cart or checkout.</li>
<li>Improved search and tag facility. These are now more accurate and clear in displaying results and only searches relevant areas of the website.</li>
<h2>Discounts Galore!</h2>
<p>For very little effort indeed, you can receive money off plus free shipping on every order you make with Indie Handmade!</p>
<p><span class="help_title">10% discount for all first time customers</span></p>
<p>All you need to do is enter your name and email address <a href="http://www.indiehandmade.co.uk/newsletter" title="10% Discount">here</a> and a discount code will be sent to you for use on your first order with Indie Handmade. Sweet!</p>
<p><span class="help_title">Free Shipping!</span></p>
<p>Simply spend £30 with Indie Handmade and you will receive free shipping on all UK orders. Your goodies will be sent out via 1st class recorded delivery.</p>
<h2>Indie Handmade Blog</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve started writing my own <a href="http://www.indiehandmade.co.uk/blog" title="Indie Handmade Blog">blog</a>! This is where I will be posting all the the latest news from Indie Handmade plus details of special discount codes, sales, competitions, projects in the pipeline and other handmade related information. Ahem, you&#8217;re reading it right now <img src='http://www.indiehandmade.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley colorbox-14' /> </p>
<h2>Customer Feedback Gallery</h2>
<p>The feedback page has also had a makeover. As well as leaving comments, customers can now optionally upload pictures of themselves and include a link to their Facebook and Twitter accounts (should they wish to), making the website a bit more interactive and giving it a more personal feel.</p>
<p>Head over there now and checkout the <a href="http://www.indiehandmade.co.uk/feedback" title="Customer Feedback Gallery" target="_blank">Indie Handmade stars</a>!</p>
