School is finally launched!
Oct 27, 2024
I'm not sure how much detail I want to put into this about how the school itself is actually run in the background so for now, just know that this is the third time I've build Dressmakers Design Studio from scratch and I really hope third times the charm!
The first school was a very simple platform and I launched the Free Sewing Essentials and Custom Pattern Library courses. It was a huge learning curve for me to just get it that far when something pretty big happened in the background that I just couldn't fix. So over the course of 24 hours, I built an entirely new school on a different platform that didn't have as many issues at the time.
Key words there - 'at the time'
It was about a year later when the next platform started to have lots more issues. It seems like their new AI system was taking over all the functions I really needed to be manual and just caused so many issues!
Ok that's as far as I'll go on this rant because I'm still pretty heated about it right now. Let's just say that even though I knew this new platform was what I needed to go with eventually, I just didn't want to have to keep rebuilding the foundations of this school over and over again. I am starting to recover from the migraines from staring at my computer screen day after day.
I feel like I should be celebrating more because I finally did it! It's a huge achievement for me to be where I am right now. I don't have to keep digging up the foundations anymore, I can finally start creating more and teaching all the sewing things finally!
Now I can finally get into that corset making course I've been putting off for so long while I dealt with all this!
