We are just ironing out the last few details (or as Jamie says minor display bugs) of the new website and then we will be changing the web addresses so that when anyone visits sawdustandglass.com they will be directed to the new site.
The most impressive feature of the site is behind the scenes, in a complete content management system that makes adding new content easy. With the old site, it was a major hassle to add new product categories, now it is as easy as adding the category in one page and selecting it in the new post page. You can look forward to more of our products being online very soon.

There is a good chance it will be ready for Christmas, although you may want to hold off. It will give you the time to go through the products and re-shoot some photos, add more detailed descriptions of products. Do a soft-launch in January and then promote it actively with your first tours in the new year.

Starting to look nice, but I have to scroll down from the “wood for every menu option. Is that the intent or is this not the new site?

The site has been designed so that the main navigation should be visible on screen when viewing with 1024 x 768 resolution or higher. The great thing about the new system is that if we want to make changes to the site - say moving that navigation “book” up higher so that more of the left sidebar is visible earlier on the page - I can do that in one spot and it affects all of the pages. Mom and dad won’t have to re-generate all their content - which they would have with the old system.
