On Firefox, your footer is very difficult to read. The font is too light on the background. Hope it is not intentional.
Nope, not intentional. I'll darken that text, thank you!
You fixed it. looks good now.
Then I read a puff piece the NY Times published about tech executives wearing colorful socks. I had been doing so for years, and the article made me realize there are many others like me. For whatever reason, I started to dream of the perfect retailer for such products: constantly rotating selection, only a few options that are carefully selected, etc. That was a few months ago, and today we launched http://www.northbranchmerchants.com
The road here has been interesting to say the least - I had never worked in retail, and had to learn all the logistics of working with distributors and building relationships with brands. Most importantly, I realized that it's best to work on what keeps you interested - I never gave up on this idea like the others. Unfortunately it seems like the only way to get there is through trial and error. Do others have a similar tale?
PS Any tech feedback on the site is very much appreciated, since I'm new to web development. We're using Shopify as the platform, with Stripe for payment processing. Both products have been great so far.
