The website is launched!
« on: February 13, 2015, 06:39:36 am »
It's finally here! My site is officially launched! February 12, 2015. The active portions are the Scroll Saw Patterns (and it's drop down options) and the YouTube tab. The Finished Pieces portion is being worked on, but will be a while before it's launch. Right now the site in general is bare bones and geared towards scroll saw pattern sales and seeing all of the Scrolling with Charlie episodes in one place. More will be added as soon as I can (get help to or be taught how to) add more functions, etc.
So head on over to http://woodenvisions.com

Best wishes on this Charles.  Much easier to find patterns and shop than the Facebook or photobucket method was. 

I do have two comments/suggestions that may improve it:

1 - I do not see titles of patterns or pattern number (whichever is used to identify a particular pattern) when I look at the  patterns.  This would be nice to have so if looking for a certain pattern you could search for it via title or number.

2 - when clicking on a pattern, if reappears same size.  Would be nice to see a larger image to get a better look at the pattern.

Congrats!

I had a look at the catalog and I think it might be better to post thumbnails with a higher image quality. Obviously you don't want visitors to be able to use the preview pics as patterns but they do need a good enough preview to be able to decide whether they want to buy it.

Thanks Charlie: There goes the rest of this afternoon while I browse your website and double check my bank account to see if I have enough to cover all the patterns I want! You're a steely eyed scroll sawin man.  Scroll on my friend.

Regards,
Terry

1- If you hover of the thumbnail with your cursor, it will show a number, but I do get your point. As far as looking for a certain pattern I've made a pretty detailed "Pattern Type" and "Keyword" list on the left to make that search easier. Suggestions noted.

2- Sadly it's due to pattern thieves. Unfortunately the size works for some thumbnails and is difficult with others. I used a thumbnail generator and it wouldn't let me pick and choose sizes. assigned to different ones.

Please see what I put in my last message. I tried other sizes and clarity and it just made way too many of them "stealable". I have found MANY sources doing so lately. I don't want to sound arrogant in the least, but I had hopes that as long as I've been in the community most would know the quality of my designs. That being said, I know not everyone has heard of me lol. I hope you understand :/

Charlie, great site--only question is about the size of the patterns. Years ago I bought one of your e-books that had maybe 7-8 patterns and they were all 8x10--are these the same? any why it's great to see the site up and running--Richard

All of them except for the ancient ones are scanned in at 300 dpi. You can resize them to as large or as small as you want with http://rapidresizer.com
the e-books have patterns ranging from about 10 inches to 12 inches ...most spread across 2 or more pages.
The individual patterns for sale are in .gif format and the ebooks are in .pdf format.
