I was browsing your Amazon products for a while and stumbled upon your post after that, which made me smile. To employ designers even to whatever extent sounds really great.
I try to put the jigsaw of your story together for myself. I joined just recently, so I have to (damn curiosity). May I ask how you could lose an E-commerce store? People tend to think about a business like that as something "secure" that cannot really be taken away because it is just "online". Did you have trouble with the physical aspects like printing and shipping?
