8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

[mws87]

update.

I finally finished the new website.

www.IWEAR8.com

kinda had to. after that douche bag copied my site.

Looks great, @Vick! The new design is simple and straight-to-the-point, something more manufacturer's and retailers should do! Thankfully, short-cutter's are often outdone and prompt their targets to further outdo them.

Only 1 issue I'm noticing with the new design--and I'm not sure if it's only me--is when I click "shop now" on the home page, it just keeps me in a loop (on the home page). Just a head's up. Other than that, everything works great.
