mensfolio.com Is Almost Ready
Patience has never been one of my strong points and the entire process of setting up my new site - mensfolio.com - is really testing my patience.
It's an e-store that offers men's wallets and small leather goods. The website was scheduled to be launched a day before Chinese New Year (not for any auspicious reason).
It's now approaching May and the site still has some bugs. The programmer working on the site quitted his job even though I'm such a lovely person to work with. And now someone else has taken over, resulting in a lot of lost time in transition, in clarifying my specs all over again.
I don't want to use Worldpay as my payment processor for this website but it turns out that applying for a U.S. merchant account ain't that straightforward. I thought it would help that I have a social security number and an (expired) California driver's license. Obviously not.
Anyway I had to incorporate a U.S. company, get a U.S. bank account and I'm still having problems getting my merchant account set up. Hopefully it gets resolved within the next few days.
Om Mani Padme Hum...Patience Patience Patience...Ta Ma De!
Anyway I didn't want to lose time on getting the site crawled by search engines. So it's now live. You can visit the site and get an idea of how it'll look like. The URL is http://www.mensfolio.com.
All feedback and criticisms are welcome, whether they are constructive or destructive.
