Point taken on the signature. I did indeed ask for input! 👍 The only problem there would be the fact that reducing the signature in size will mean editing every image on the site and all the original files that will be used for product production as well. As for the nuts and bolts of building a site with them, first remember I’m an artist/graphic designer, and really not adept at the geeky side of web work. At my places of employment graphic designers made things “pretty” while there were other teams who were responsible for the back end of the internet work. As for the SEO, the tools provided generate some of it automatically, but you are able to go in and edit that as well as add to it. I felt it would work well in my case, but the reality of that remains to be seen. I also felt their marketing was probably more powerful than I fully utilized. As for cost, I was pleased, the site was up and running for around $300, Having a “store” makes things a bit more expensive of course. That $300 included my hosting cost for my domain. GoDaddy was the majority of that—an annual fee based on their monthly multiplied and discounted over a year. The domain will be a monthly fee. The more features you use to build a more complex site, the more expensive it gets. I suspect I’m really just scraping the surface of how powerful their application is to build a site, due of course to my own lack of experience. Oh, I'm editing this to clarify about the cost of using GoDaddy: for most of the work I was taking advantage of a "free trial" offer and that got most of the site designed (several hours over a weeks time), but once I added the Store, that was a "Premium" feature, and that accounted for what I spent.  Thanks for taking the time to reply

Really looks great, BUT - I don't want to enable cookies. This is exactly the kind of user feedback I was looking for, thank you! Going back into GoDaddy, I found where I can change the Cookie message to allow the user to decline cookies. I’ve published the site again, so hopefully you should see that change. Thanks again! 👍
