My name is Nicolette Tallmadge, I currently run my own hand crafted jewelry design business. I’ve been designing and selling jewelry for over 11 years. I got the idea about The Crafted Webmaster when I was working as a full time and freelance web designer. I created my first site in 1996 by learning HTML in a magazine and used that experience to get a job designing web sites for a living. While designing sites full time and on a freelance basis, I was also designing and selling my own handmade jewelry and used my web experience to promote myself online. During that time I helped many of my fellow artisans with setting up their own web sites and with advice on how to promote their business on the web. I now run my jewelry business full time and I’ve built The Crafted Webmaster so I can provide information to other fellow artists and craftsmen so they can learn how to promote their work on the Internet.

Have you been neglecting your art website lately? When people visit, do they get the impression that you haven't updated your website or months...maybe even years? Once you build your art website, it needs regular maintenance and the occasional freshening up if you want to attract and keep regular visitors. On today's show, I'm going to talk about how to spruce up your old neglected craft website.
1. Check for things that make your website look neglected
• old dates • old content • broken links and images • outdated design • missing pages
2. Check the interactive parts of your website and make sure they work
• Shopping cart • Newsletter sign ups • Online forms • Look for error messages • Multimedia like video and audio
3. Fix and tune up
• Fix the things that are missing or broken on your website • Add some new features or content to your site (something as simple as adding your Twitter stream will spruce up your site) • Check the speed of your website. One good tool is Website Speed Test • Spruce up the look of your website. Take a look at other websites and see what kind of designs are popular now
4. Keep your website spruced up
• Schedule time daily, weekly, or monthly to maintain your website • Regularly check your links, your content, your shopping cart, multimedia, or contact forms • Update your information (email addresses, phone numbers, addresses) as needed
