Just to clarify some things, my friend that is helping me is a web designer, I didn't mean to come across as though she didn't know what she was doing! I personally don't care for all the wording when you first go to the website... I like fresh clean look.

I don't like to be overloaded when I go to a website and that is what I told her I wanted and that is what we came up with. I appreciate all the suggestions... :wink05:

There are basic rules to web design.
3 click rule,Above the fold to name one or two, although your site is clean it could do with more to help the browser(user).

I hope it works out for you Ang

hi ang,

i wanted to order a lounge wear dress from you site and i registered but when i tried to sign in with the passcode i was sent i got a fatal error page.
will you please check this?
i'm buying for a girlfriend and she's about 5'2" and weighs 115. do you think i should get her a small? i'm getting her the same one you were modeling. were you wearing the backless one?
she is for leaving for nc on sunday. if i can't get it here (fl) by sat i'll just have to send it to her there.

i also have a question about the bell sleeves. do you think they will get caught in my spokes? i have a problem with full skirts and extra material getting hung up and i was wondering if ches had any issues with the bell sleeves especially the longer ones like on that awesome jacket. is that backless as well? it would be cool to see a back view. i know i need to read a little closer. (sorry)

do you think you would be able to put velcro in the crotch of the jeans to make cathing easier? are the jeans easy to put on in the w-c or would i have to dress in bed? if it's the bed i was wondering how i'd manage cathing without a hassle.

sorry i had to ask all this here but i couldn't log in.

i heard your interview today and liked how you came across. you did a great job. i was expecting you to have a southern accent. what is up with that? i learned a lot about you. like you're a singer and i didn't know the details of your wreck. you story made me cry. you may know my daughter is 14.

the girl interviewing you did a good job in letting you describe your new line. i couldn't hang with her pizza recipe, it was take a tortilla put sauce and pepperoni and cheese on it and put in oven. how revolutionary!

i also learned more details about your loungewear. i didn't realize how clever they were until you described the fastening feature. after i heard that i just had to get this for my friend who's been in the hospital since late december. her birthday was just last week. the is perfect for her.

please let me into your site.

hi fellow gimps! i'm a c 6/7 quad and have been injured since 1986. i was in a roll over hydroplane accident and it took hours for the paramedics to get me out of the car in the pouring rain. that definately wasn't my day. but alas life goes on!

Okay I am checking on the website, thank you for letting me know!

Yes I would get her a small, I am wearing the backless in that photo.

I can e-mail ches about the bell sleeves getting caught in her spooks, I don't remember her having any issues. The jacket is cut short in the back so you are not sitting on any extra material! You can see the back if you click on 1, 2, 3

Ches put on all clothing in the chair at the photoshoot's. Now I obviously have to get in bed. I never thought about Velcro in the crotch area. That is an idea for me to improve on what the jeans.

If you have any more questions you can e-mail me at info@heelswithwheels.com

 

 

As for the interview

thank you, I was extremely nervous, my southern accent comes out when I'm not so cautious lol. Yes I do a lot of things, writing and so forth, don't really sing anymore. Well I'm glad you stuck around for my interview, Tiff really is good at making other people feel comfortable.

I'm going to check on the site!

As Angie's PR (haha) I feel I must speak up...

First those bell sleeves, they werent an issue what-so-ever...
However, I never technically put on the jacket, so Im unsure about the long bell sleeves,...
BUT Angie assures satisfaction and like she has said before if you have a request just let her know, which includes measurements!
B/c all of Angie's clothes are handmade right here in Dallas and she works right along the seamstress making ANY alteration to improve the quality of your particular piece is not an issue...

And yes I was able to get dressed entirely in my chair..

Haven't heard anything from TA for quite a while. Anyone know how she's doing? The same could be said of TO, too. Taking care of buisnesses and babies can leave little time for forums, I guess.

I don't know how much Ang wants things public, but she recently had some issues, but she is doing well now! She also has some exciting projects coming up! I've tried to contact Mimi but she's so busy :)

I am just finding this site/forum, so I am just looking over a lot of things....I came across this and Wow!!! I love this. TA's story sounds so similar to mine. I was the same way, pre-wheels, could care less about fashion, and now I would give anything to look cute like all of my friends! I am 5'8, so always have trouble finding cute pants that are long (I have very long legs)....This is such a wonderful idea and I hope that it continues to be successful. LOVE the name too!!!
