Crafts On The Web Survey

"What is selling on the Web?"
"Do I need to have secure credit card ordering?"
"Should I join a Web Mall?"
"How much should I pay for a Web site?"

These are among the questions I hear most often from crafts people about the web. With this survey, I hope to get some acurate answers to these questions for the benfit of the entire arts and crafts comunity.

The information from this survey will *not* be used for any purpose other than gathering general data about how crafts are selling on the web. You will *not* be put on any mailing list by filling out this survey. Statisical information from this survey is posted automatically and may be viewed by anyone for the benefit of all arts and crafts professionals.

If you have an arts and crafts web site, please fill out the survey form as completely and honestly as you can. Just click the button next to the most appropriate answer for each question, then click submit at the bottom of the page. (Please submit only once.)

Thank you!
