Our Site Information

Why We Changed The Site

Our prior site for Raven’s Ravine was with a web-hosting company called Squarespace. There is nothing inherently wrong with Squarespace itself; using it allowed us to display and sell our product without a lot of time-consuming developmental effort. It also provided us with a means of organizing our bags in a way that is meaningful to both us and our customers. The downside of Squarespace is that it lacks certain features very specific to our products and how we like to market them.

How Our Change May Affect You

There are several ways in which you our customer will be noticeably affected by the change:

  • Our Home Page: This is the first thing you’ll see, and the change is quite significant. The front page isn’t the store; rather it’s more about us and where we are. Hopefully you will appreciate seeing our retail location and a countdown to and description of our upcoming events.
  • Our store page: We believe you will find it handy to have a quick summary of what we have and what the product sizes are.
  • Shipping charges: While there still are no shipping charges for the vast majority of our bags, adding a charge to the smallest of our products provides us with a way of bringing to market smaller, less expensive bags and accessories. You will notice that by combining orders you can reduce or eliminate shipping charges altogether on individual items.
  • We now have the ability to add more features to our site. Initial examples are the countdown to events on our home page and the ability to choose from accessory choices like strap sizes on Convertible Bags.
  • First NEW bag styles now on our site: The “Convertibles” – Kingfisher and Kingfisher 2, which along with the Anna can be ordered with a choice of strap sizes. Check them out!


And that’s not all, folks. Once the cord to Squarespace is cut you’ll be seeing more activity on our site!
