At Last....Brand New Website Has Gone Live!

The deed is done, the switch has been flicked ....the old website is no longer and the brand new KT Miniatures website is up and running! Phew......not without a few hiccups though. 

It is quite different in format from the last website but fingers crossed, this will be easier to navigate, more compatible with iPads and mobiles.....plus generally is more streamlined. 

Have already heard from a very excited iPad customer this morning that the links work....whey hey!!! However she canot view the lower right hand sidebar on any of the pages. Well......there should be two boxed links...one to this KT Miniatures Journal and one to our workshops. All she is seeing is a little grey box. So....for the time being, until I can figure out what can be done about that, there are extra links to those up on the top navigation bar. So iPad users won't be missing out on anything....hopefully. Is better than not being able to access any of the links, which is what iPad users were having to put up with before.

Hope you like it!

KT Miniatures New Website To Go Live Tomorrow!

Just a quick message to  let you know that KT Miniatures is closed for business today.....as the final touches are being put to my brand new website in preparation for the BIG changeover tomorrow!!! At some point tomorrow, the site may go down as the changeover gets underway so please don't be alarmed. Am a teency tad nervous to say the least though as am hoping that all Gremlins will stay away.

It has been a bit of journey all this but fingers crossed, all will be revealed tomorrow and that at last, KT Miniatures new website will accomplish it's aim and be more mobile & iPad compatible.

We shall see!!!

KT Miniatures New Website To Go Live On Friday

Have been working solidly these past few days on one final push to get my brand new KT Miniatures website up and running. Fingers crossed, this coming Friday (UK time) I hope to press the "live" button...and all will be unveiled!

I have completely streamlined the whole set up so should be much more simple to use and of course.....it should be completely compatible for mobiles and iPads too, which sadly my current website is not and is the main reason for me changing over.

Have also used this as an opportunity to make decisions on the services I have to offer and after much deliberating,  for several reasons have decided to discontinue making room boxes to commission. Although I love doing them, they are so time consuming and becoming less viable these days but I hope to offer an occasional quirky set scene for sale now and then.

Meanwhile, no new stock will be listed to my existing KT Miniatures website until the new one goes live on Friday -although you are welcome to order as usual. Then amongst new stock that will be listed,  you will find at least 3 rather lovely antique/vintage dolls houses up for sale along with loads of lovely vintage goodies.  Am rather nervous about it all actually.............

Fashion Show- In Aid Of Breast Cancer Campaign....Am spreading the word!

As you know, for many years now I have been an ardent supporter of Breast Cancer Campaign and am always happy to promote fundraising for this charity.

Well....a lovely lady called Elaine Parish,  who I met when she came to collect her little raffle prize won at the Thame Dolls House Fair back in February this year,  has got in touch to tell me that her daughter is organising a fundraising event for Breast Cancer Campaign.  I felt that it was the least I could do to tell the world about this wonderful event on here, particularly as Elaine is fighting the disease herself!

So ladies...if you live in the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire area or fancy a day out to this part of the world, please see details below.

New KT Miniatures Website....Work In Progress!

 I'll be a little quiet over the next few days....as am in the middle of creating a brand new website for KT Miniatures.

It's coming together nicely, although there have been one or two hiccups! Luckily though, my IT Director...aka Mr KT Miniatures, has been hovering in the background to ensure that I press the right buttons! Am actually quite enjoying it as I suppose it's quite a creative exercise.....but will be glad when it's complete as already my eyes are going rather Googly!

There is a great necessity for a new website as my current one is deemed old technology..... consequently some of you who try to view KT Miniatures website via iPads and certain mobiles cannot get many of the links to work. Fingers crossed, the new one will be far more iPad and mobile compatible!! A lot of research and thought has gone into this new much sleeker template. Although it is quite different in format, I have tried to incorporate some original features in order to help give viewing customers a feeling of familiarity.

For now, the normal website will be visible and you can still order in the usual way so don't worry. But am hopeful that at some point next week, the new one will be able to go live.
