Starting up after graduating

I'm launching my website on 1st April. For the past year 'make website' has been at the top of my things-to-do list, but has never quite seemed a priority. Until now! Moving to Bristol and calling myself an artist is obviously a push to get my website up and running. so is finally getting a studio space over Christmas.

So I've done it! Or I've nearly done it, just the hard/boring bits to do now. I've been reading through old sketchbooks to find some good descriptions of my work and looking at many other artist sites for website-ideas.

I'm thinking about how to go about using the site as a shop – Either linking through paypal or just having people contact me if they want to buy. maybe the latter is better – more personal? Or do people not care about that?

Seems like i really need to get this right, websites are so important in this age. An online presence.
