[Magdalen] iOS help

[Molly Wolf]

The host is going to be Etsy, and they do offer product pages and the like.  But I want a database for myself, because not everything I make is going to end up on Etsy.  Ideally, I’d like to be able to combine photo images with searchable text, but I gather that doesn’t work.  It would be good to have information on each piece on its photo, but again, I’m not sure how to do this.

Maybe this is something I should ask a photographer about.  I have an old friend who taught photography at Rice; Peter should have some ideas.

Thanks —

Molly

I want a customer to be able to shop for a green necklace, business style, short, with earrings, and be able to turn up a couple of choices. I’m working in iOS because my iPod makes a far better and easier-to-use camera than anything I could afford.  I want minimal fussing between programs and platforms.
