New Website for a New Decade

New Website for a New Decade

Just finished the brand new website. I made the original website in 2015 - back when things were a bit more primitive and my design/photography was a bit lack luster. I like to believe I've improved over the years although I question it sometimes haha. Last year I updated the packaging for the entire line, so it was only a matter of time before I also redid the website.

Here is the old website for reference, and perhaps to laugh at in a few years time. 

I took a lot of inspiration from a few websites I designed over the years mostly focused on photography. Shopify still handles mostly everything which has been great. Makes the original website feel so dated, Id say this was a success. Anyway gotta get cracking on the 2020 Fulvia release. Thanks for checking this out!

December was such an insane month, it almost burnt me out. The amount of yoyos I had to ship out for the Fulvia release was insane, but on top of that being just a single person running Luftverk, it meant I was also dealing with invoicing stores all around the world and making sure the factory got paid in advance for shipments. All in all it was a slurry of spreadsheets and staying up late to pack orders every day.

I dont know where to start with the project. It has been the most expensive yoyo by multiple magnitudes to create. Not only was this project costly due to injection molding, but my persistence on a machining operation meant the R&D for this yoyo took forever. I started designing this yoyo over 2 years ago - and it has slowly snowballed into this proof-of-concept initial release based on the beloved Fulvia design.

It feels like it has been a long time since I've done a post but really I think just a lot happened in October. The 000 54SE that was released in September was a huge success - I ended up selling out all units through my direct store. During October it was a grind of getting those orders out the door. I received the Ti-7068 000 and Fulvia, but only half of the accessories and stickers. It's why I had to separate them from this 000 release. The Fulvia sold more than I expected - the Champaign colorway sold so quick I had to pull some from the store for retailers.
