If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?

it's exactly as we wanted

little details to try to change and mainly rely on people who weren't interested in it

word of mouth

How has running your website differed from your expectations?

as i said its just under 2 years

Is your website readable to all?

We find that lot of people just look at the price and never at description of what they are getting. They have lot of pictures to look through if you they are lazy to read. We put lot of information about us so you don't get disappointed at the end.
