New Site Update

I'm sorry for the late notice, but I've been working pretty hard on the new site. It looks like with any luck we'll be ready to launch sometime Thursday.

We'll need to close the existing site in order to transfer all of your order info and points, and my plan is to do that early tomorrow morning.

After that the coders will go to work transferring the data, and we'll open the new site! The links will all still be the same- www.silknaturals.com

That's all barring any unforseen issues- and there is *always* something in BIG projects like this.

The one thing is that your passwords will no longer be valid. We will be sending an email with new password info (I have to get some clarification on that), but there is a link right on the front page to get a new password as well.

The new site has a ton of nice new features, and I hope you love it as much as I do. It's been a bigger project than I anticipated, but it's coming together, and it's pretty sweet.

Thank you all for being so patient during this process. I'll update here as soon as it's live :)

Smooth is not the word I'd use to describe the process thus far, but it is moving forward.

Due to a couple of unforeseen circumstances we are keeping the site closed over the weekend so we can make a few final tweaks.

Changing a site as large as Silk Naturals is not a task for wimps. Don't worry, Karen. We're not going anywhere ;-)

Are we still aiming for switching over to the new site today? Just wondering since I have an order I've been waiting to place! I know a migration like that can have all sorts of hiccups.

I don't know. We've had it *almost* ready to go- just one minor tweak, and then the whole thing breaks. It's been 6 days of this, and we're all very weary.

I'm so sorry. They're working on it- we're all working on it. I'll post here when it goes live.

For those of you who may have subscribed to this particular topic, and missed the other thread... As Karen pointed out, the site is now live!

And thank you all so much for the kind words while we were migrating. It means a lot. It really does, and we really appreciate it.
