Months of being prodded by my beautiful and talented web engineer (also known as my long-suffering and immensely patient wife

) to collect and resize images,
update my graphics, etc have finally paid off.

There is still much to be added in terms of features and pages, but the basics are all there.

Nothing has changed in terms of ordering or production, there is no 'shopping cart' nor any stock sporrans for sale,
but now all my work will be able to be found in one place (at least once all of the pictures are uploaded).

Congratulations to you and your bonnie wife, Scott! Well done, my friend. The new website looks absolutely amazing and is easy to navigate. Quite the sporran portfolio to be extremely proud of!

Best wishes with all of your future endeavours and commissions,

Looks sharp!! It's especially nice to be able to view all your custom work in one spot. And thanks for also including contact info along with basic pricing information.

Well done! Glad you're live that way too... and I haven't totally forgotten that other idea we discussed; it's just temporarily dormant!

Thanks gang, like I said, there are a lot more features and pictures that need to be either written or uploaded, but at least the skeleton is up.

What do you all think of the new logo and colour scheme?

Well, it is winter, a perfect time for being dormant

Thanks!

There is a rough guide to pricing in the Ordering Info/FAQ section, but there are several main reasons I don't have specific prices on the images themselves.
a) not every option included on a given sporran is actually SHOWN in the image, internal storage pockets, etc, can skew pricing making for a "why is that one X dollars and this one fifty dollars more?" situation.
b) market costs for fur/exotic skins can be somewhat volatile, I'd rather not have prices on some images and not on others.

In the end, I'd rather use these images as inspiration for what a client truly wants and not boil things down to "I'll take #3 in brown" style of shopping cart purchase.

Your wife did a wonderful job on your website. The pictures are spectacular! It's well organized and easy to navigate, too. Of course, I immediately bookmarked it.

Thank Goodness there isn't a "Buy now" button or "shopping cart". I'd be in real trouble with my beautiful and talented budget accountant.
