The Website is Underway

I've mentioned before that we're in the process of reworking the website. The old site was so out-of-date that I actually created an interim website to have up there while the new one gets built. I'm really excited about the new site and all the snazzy new features we're going to have (mainly to facilitate getting our retailers the information they need about the products). Have I mentioned how excited I am about it?

But I am having a problem getting the web copy ready to go. It's actually all written and I've had two or three others take a look at it to make their recommendations and catch grammar mistakes. But still, I keep holding onto it unwilling to let it go for fear that once I do I will undoubtably want to change something. Course the beauty of websites is that the copy can be relatively easily changed when/if needed. But at the same time I want to make sure that when the website launches it is simply 110% so I'm weighing every single word, rewriting every single sentace, and wondering if the way I currently have things explained is really clear to someone who is not as intimately familiar with the products as I am. Yes, in short, I'm managing to stress myself out. :)

In other news, I'm thinking of ditching my workspace time today. While there's always things that can be done, I'm not currently under any pressing deadlines and have a small inventory built up so I'm thinking I may enjoy the day at home with my pups and take care of a number of administrative things that have to get done. Even though it's my own business, I do have trouble not going to my workspace when assigned because it gives my week more structure (something I need) and because I am paying for it so I want to make sure to utilize it to the fullest. But I also realize that in another month or so things are going to be well under way for the big Fall buying season so if I can take a day now to chill out a bit I may as well enjoy it.
