Website software
Hi all does anyone know of any web design software or web templates set up especially for picture framers? I am looking to start selling online and would like a website that allows customers to upload images to choose mouldings and mounts before ordering online. Any help greatly appreciated.

General State of Play
Hi all, just wanted to put this one out there.
In 3 words or less (possibly asking for trouble, I know) describe the picture framing business as you have experienced it in 2014

Re: chop service for rose and hollis moulding
Prospero, thanks for that. I have bought and taken back 4 saws so far and have more or less come to the conclusion I would have to spend the big bucks ( not an option) to go that route so would be interested to know which deWalt model you have found at that price with the fine accuracy.

Re: chop service for rose and hollis moulding
Thanks guys. Yes it seems only R+H do this moulding and I have asked for chop service before and been told they don't do it (was a while back tho' maybe I should ask again). On chop and join I was more thinking of getting a local framer to do that part of the job and invoice me then I would finish t...

Re: mounting mixed media work
Thanks Roboframer - very interesting article - just what I was looking for also take on board your additional points on beveling the edge of the foamcore etc. My clients edges are often very rough and distorted - all part of her work - so will need to get support as close to edge as possible without...

Re: New member
Welcome to the forum Magnum. The answer to that is yes definitely, but at least you have knowledge of the industry and obviously some business sense, which will stand you in good stead. Make sure you do you research , are you going to set up in the same area or have you moved? Good Luck :-P :-P AG ...

Re: New member
Welcome - back? I had 2 years doing the same as you looking after our first following the last recession circa 1990. She's at uni. now. Make the most of it.

Hi all Just thought I'd say a quick hello to intro myself. Thinking about starting up full time again. I had a reasonably successful high street frame shop once not so long ago (successful enough for the government to want a large chunk twice a year at any rate!) but sold up and have been stay at ho...
