So you're making a storefront. You have a product you want to sell and you have a name for your company, but you don't know how to market it. You don't know what to put into your opening post to grab people's attention, or how to describe your product so that it doesn't read like an instructions manual written entirely in pig Latin. You like what you have but you don't know where to go from there. Fortunately, there are people who do.
The NS Better Business Bureau is comprised of members of the GE&T community who are experienced in storefront design and everything that goes into it, and are willing to aid new players in adjusting to this community. They are here to help you get the best mileage out of your storefront. In other words: you are the Better Business Bureau. If you have a question ― any question ― about how to improve your GE&Ting, this is the place to ask; if you want to provide advice, tips, tricks, or critique, this is the place to do it.
This thread exists because we believe that the best resource the GE&T community has is itself; that it is GE&Ters who most want to see this subforum reach its fullest potential and have the knowledge and ability to get it there. The Better Business Bureau strives for this, as only the GE&T community can. Collectively, the Better Business Bureau (and this community as a whole) comes packed with:
(Image)Years of experience in storefront-running and product design;
(Image)Diverse areas of interest and expertise to provide better and wider coverage;
(Image)Professional and helpful feedback on every aspect of GE&T;
(Image)Roguish wit and dazzling good looks.
How does it work? It's surprisingly straightforward. Ask your question and get a response. Post your storefront and get feedback and critique. When you do, keep in mind that the more you give us to work off the more we can help you.
Want to help out? Anyone is welcome to offer advice in this thread (and even outside it!) and free to disagree with what others have said. This isn't an echo chamber, and varied advice is encouraged. That said, please try and keep things professional; this is not a "chat thread," but a new incarnation of an advice and assistance thread. Players of all types who want to see better businesses in GE&T should feel free to participate.
Wondering why this opening post seems so short? That's because it's not a guide, and there's only so much that needs to be said. The last version of this idea waxed lyrical and detoured down memory lane, which missed the point a bit. This thread is to provide help, suggestions, feedback and critique. The important stuff comes later. Happy GE&Ting!

I think you were wise to keep canvassing for more advice.
There is a draw to using ready made images, but you have to be careful. They are most often copyrighted material. Sometimes it might help to put a disclaimer in a spoiler or small footnote that you are using them for fair use/parody without any profit to yourself, maybe even throwing a credit to the original photographer or brand that created it, but the site is still liable if the IP holders still go after it. You would need to be ready to yank them fast in the case of a C&D (Cease and Desist) letter from an attorney or the actual creator. It is a grey area, for sure, but if you can create your own images - please, please, please, try to do so.
