Title: Introducing: The New Gray Mare and Love the Arena Sale
Post by: Eskara1862 on February 02, 2012, 06:23:55 AM

For the past two weeks, I've been geeking out and working on a MAJOR project.  :nerdy: When I learned that the Classifieds from the old Arena wouldn't be moving over here any time soon, and I've had problems posting in the sale forum, I decided it was time to brush up on my web design skills and finally make a pony website.  It currently hosts everything I had for sale at the old Arena, but I have a LOT more stuff to add and hope to add at least six new items every day for the entire month. I am proud to give you:

To celebrate the launch, I am also hosting a "Love the Arena Sale."  50% of all sales, made here (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,284503.msg13191.html#msg13191), on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNewGrayMare), or at NewGrayMare.com (https://www.newgraymare.com/store/) will be donated to the Arena.  I would also like to invite any other seller to join me in showing our love and appreciation for the Arena by donating a portion of sales.  I even made a little signature banner for it =)

:lovey: visitors can't see pics , please register or login
  :lovey:

If you would like me to make a custom banner for you stating what percentage you would like to donate, then just ask and I'll make one =)


Now, time to get back to work on that website!  The bare bones structure is there, but it needs to be prettied up quite a bit ;)  I'm sure I'll be working on this for at least the next month. :work:   Ooh, I have so many things planned!  :devious:

 :good: Hope you like the new site!

Yay!  I've already had two sales!
 
I fixed the background image, so it's much prettier now.  Also fixed the issue with the cart allowing more than one of the same item to be purchased.  Next fix will be the shipping calculator so it will charge by weight and not number items of purchased.
 
If you guys notice any issues, I'd really appreciate it if you could point them out to me.  I discovered the footer floating around like crazy two days ago! I would also like to know if you can see the whole page or if the right side is cut off.  I have a wide-screen monitor at home, so it can be difficult to judge how something looks on a regular one.

The site looks lovely, good luck with your sales!
You had said on fb that you were planning on donating to the arena and you are, that's very nice of you :)

Quick question: have you figured out where/how to donate yet? I've been wanting to do it too, but I haven't seen any links.
