RE: [OT] What makes a good miniatures web site

OTOH, If they have a web site, they have someone that is at least a
little
computer literate and the web site deals only with those literate enough
to
be able to get to the web site. 

A better justification would be cost. Taking professional level photos
of
each miniature, converting it to .gif or .jpeg, and posting it on a web
page
can cost a fair amount in money and/or time. But IMO, it would increase
sales and decrease customer dissatisfaction by an amount that it would
be
well worth the effort and expense. And as I have said before, the
pictures
do not have to be of professional quality. Even a poor picture may be
better
than no picture.
