What do you think?

OK, so our new site is up: www.gollygear.com. It may look a lot different than the old one, but it's still Hope and me, with our dogs modeling for cookies. Please visit, and tell us what you think! Oh, and through February 28, take 15% off of everything in your shopping cart with the coupon code newgolly.

Thanks! - Fran

Hallelujah!

I'm happy to report that the new gollygear.com is up and running! All the products are up, all the pictures have been resized (I think!), credit card checkout is secure with our very own SSL certificate, and PayPal is also an option for payment! It's been a long, painful process, and more cleanup is under way, but the site is up and it works! The new site offers features like product reviews, and more great stuff that I haven't even begun to look at. It will be fun, though! We still offer the best variety of small dog harnesses out there. And we're only a phone call away to offer advice in choosing the best harness or other product for your little dog. We're the same, the products are even better, and our customers' shopping experience will be the best!

Training took a back seat yesterday while I was dealing with issues, but Booker and Tango will get some time this evening! - Fran

Frustration plus...

In the middle of training Tango, letting Booker in on the secrets of happy puppyhood, and trying to stay warm this winter, we're redoing our website, www.gollygear.com. The shopping cart that we'd been using successfully for many years is sadly out of date with modules breaking down, and the update from this company (which we spent tons of money and time on) is worse than useless for us. So we decided to switch shopping carts, and that entailed redoing the website. Recropping all the pictures. Copying all the product descriptions. And tags. Figuring out this program's subproduct feature, and lots of other features. Purchasing the tech support package which allows me to update the program. (And that's a hefty annual fee.) And now I'm in a waiting mode for the tech guy at the hosting company to install on the server the crucial software that will allow us to process credit card charges. Hopefully next week.... - Fran
