Well, I've been busily working on my website for the past couple days. Check it out: http://slingset.fatcow.com/

There's a logo that will go in that empty corner space once I get it sized correctly. Feedback?

It looks great! It looks really cozy and the material looks real soft and stretchy! What are the actual users saying about it so far?

Well, Nari (in the red) is the only one who has had one long-term, and she loves it. She just has the single pouch, though. Kristen is the manufacturer, and she is really happy with the performance of the fabric and says the waist belt is awesome and reminds her of the way a good maternity support belt holds your belly up. All the other pics came from me taking it to the playground, which is frequented by a lot of my old Mothersville customers, so they only got short-term trials but really liked it in that short time. The woman in the cowboy hat, Elizabeth, is the Mom of some kids that go to the Montessori school. We were all at a farm-themed birthday party for the directress's dd and she used it the whole time and loved it. I should find a box of periwinkle testers when I get home today, and kristen was sending one set directly to a test mama, so I will have some feedback on using the whole system long-term after this week. I feel really good about it and I'm so excited to really get things rolling! Once I have all the colors I am going to organize a more planned photo shoot to get some really good pictures.

Ok, I have a question. On y'all's computers, does all the purple look the same? It does on my classroom computer and dh's desktop Mac, but on my ibook the side navigation bar looks different from the background of the top graphics.

Scout,

In my estimation, the purple vertical rectangle on the left of the page (HOME ect..) is an almost imperceivable shade darker in value than the two purple horizontal rectangles (stars and title) on the top of the page.
HTH, Siren

Thanks. So far it's just on my ibook that I can see a very noticible difference. Oh, and it's up on the real url now, at http://www.theslingset.com

I agree with SS on the colors. I have a Mac, too, and if you're LOOKING for a difference, then it is ever-so-slightly darker on the side bar thing than the top thing.

Ok, I put up a bunch of new pics on the photo album page. We had a testing playgroup at my house on spring break last week, so I had plenty of babies to test with!
