That's what does it for me too. Who did the photography? It's a neat shot.

Next time, post both, without telling which is yours, and then ask which we think is better.

It's not great, it's a little mussy. I only allot so much time per design.

Clodfobble · 05-07-2011, 07:00 PM

With that sexy new website, they can unclog my drain anytime!

Undertoad · 05-07-2011, 08:08 PM

My biness partner, with my borrowed camera!

We have to eBay a nice camera for him STAT!

infinite monkey · 05-07-2011, 08:10 PM

He did a nice job! It's friendly.

Get that man a great camera.

Except UT's version is hosted under his own domain, so we'd still know which was which. And once the new one was up and running under the company's domain, the old site wouldn't be there anymore.

he could use cllr.me?

Blacksmiths have terrible websites. Here's one of the less garish. It might be an avenue to explore.

The sites they need might be a little more complex than what you're doing now, especially sites for blade and architectural blacksmiths. A WordPress setup with a good gallery theme would probably cover most of them.

It's also a good excuse to go to knife shows.

I'll probably meet Steve this weekend at the Northern Rockies Blacksmith Association spring conference. I'll ask him about his motivations.

Mo' money, mo' money, mo' moneeeeey.

I didn't take any pictures. I can't focus on learning and take photos at the same time.

I'll post the official pics when they're up.

Steve is a really cool dude. Go by and get a demo if you're ever in Jackson, WY. And yes, the name change was a marketing move.

Prices are going up all over the metalworking world. One reason is that the cost to operate foundries has risen sharply. Another is that foundries are shutting down regularly.

(Back to your regularly scheduled website business thread...)

Oh and tell him to update his site - It's been three years!
He cannot be THAT busy.
