As our new shopping site nears completion, Wee Man is proud to announce the arrival of his new BLOG! It's called Wee Man's Fair Trade Musings and it can be found at blog.simplythebestontheweb.co.uk
The Blog is going to be the main way of communicating news about the Dornoch Shop and our new outlet, www.SimplyTheBestOnTheWeb.co.uk. You can see that site now, but only the main page as I still have some work to do on it, as well as 'filling the shelves' with lots of goodies! It will also be a way of finding out about and commenting upon Fair Trade news. Please drop by! |

Website News
Latest...... We have opened an account with a new web host capable of running a full e-commerce site. The bare bones of the site have been uploaded; all that remains is for it to be configured to make it fully secure and for all our data to be uploaded. For total peace of mind we have purchased an SSL Certificate which effectively means the site will be as secure as it can be.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes we are beavering away to populate a database so that you will be able to view our products in detail.
Hopefully not long after that we will be able to offer a fully functional e-commerce website, where you will be able to order and pay for products online and have them delivered to your door! I'm afraid we are a little behind on this, but rest assured that as soon as we can make the site available, we will do! |
