Hi! I'm learning to design
my own websites.
I am testing Freedom Kit as a potentially easier way
to build sites than Wordpress.
About us
My wife and I are collectors of a Original Erzgebirge handcrafts from German, Navajo Rugs, and Peublo pottery. We want to build websites from which to downsize our collections to other collectors.
Our Works
Custom Website Design
We have typically built sites with Wordpress, but are branching out to try other site builders.
The hope is to be able to create more site in less time.
Responsive Web Development
Half or more of website traffic comes from mobile phones so responsive design is required.
E-commerce Website Design
ecommerce is much harder than we expected. To build an eCommerce website with Wordpress requires bringing together a LOT of moving parts.
There must be an easier way.
Website Maintenance and Support
We look after our own sites. The profit margins in collectibles are not sufficient to justify hiring developers and designers.
First Post
Moth damage in Navajo Rugs
Navajo rugs are woven from wool. If you like rugs made with hand-spun wool from the weaver's own sheep, they will attract moths. This isn't a problem if you put them in the freezer for a few days every for couple of months, because the cold kills the moth larva.
Treatments
Moth balls
Moth balls were the standby when we packed ours away 30 years ago. However, they are less popular today. The smell is hard to remove and many people will not buy a rug that was stored this way. We will test a variety of ways to remove the smell.
Walk on them
This was more popular when Navajo Rugs were floor rugs; before they turned into wall art!
Being on the floor exposed them to damage from cat or dog hair and urine, as well as spills of various kinds.
That said, the pressure of footsteps and the vibration which moth larva are sensitive to keeps these floor rugs free of moth damage.
Specialty cleaning services
There are companies that specialize in cleaning Navajo and other rugs. They can repair and remove stains at the same time. If the rug has sufficient financial or sentimental value to justify the cost, this is the way to go.
Of course, when you get the rug back from the service you will still have to inspect it for moths regularly.
Our Team
Our design team is the creative force behind the captivating visuals that define our projects. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of design principles, they transform ideas into stunning visuals that leave a lasting impression.
Behind the scenes, our development team works tirelessly to bring those designs to life. They are the tech-savvy wizards who make sure every button clicks, every page loads seamlessly, and every feature functions flawlessly.
