We upgraded the web server!

I’m so sorry to everyone who had trouble placing an order when my sale first launched, or just now after we upgraded everything.

A few years ago, every time I ran a sale, my server would crash. At the time, I was wearing every hat myself—trying to sort things out without the faintest idea of what I was doing.

Eventually, I realised just how much time I was wasting trying to learn things I didn’t understand (and honestly didn’t care to). So I started working with someone who now takes care of everything to do with the website. Life’s been a lot easier since then, and the last few sales have gone off without a hitch…

Until this one!

You all managed to crash the site trying to take advantage of the mid-year sale. Thank you so much for your support and patience. I especially appreciate everyone who reached out to let me know there was a problem—and those who offered their husband’s expertise to help get things back on track. Book lovers really are the best people.

I know how precious time is for all of us homeschooling parents, so I felt awful if you couldn’t get onto the site or had to deal with painfully slow pages.

Yesterday, we took the site offline for a few hours and migrated everything to a new server—with triple the resources of the old one. There were a few bugs with previews not showing, products not always adding to the cart, and with downloading files, but I think they’re all sorted out now. Things should be running much more smoothly, but if you run into any trouble, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know.

Now that everything’s back on track (and faster than ever), feel free to have a browse and take advantage of the sale pricing—available until July 13th!
