Virtual Worlds in the UK

Comment by Elizabeth Gallagher on June 21, 2008 at 12:34pm

Hello :)

Just thought I'd introduce myself.
I am know in SL as Lillybeth Filth since 2004 founder of Textures R Us (TRU) established in 2004.
We are contracted with several ""outside" texture websites as well as having over 60+ freelance game texture artists who are either members of SL or work from outside.
About to launch our website in summer 08 which will make us the first texture store in SL to have their own website allowing customers to browse and purchase directly from it and we will be inviting other established artists and stores to display their work from it also.
The plan is to bring all of SL's better known texture stores under one wesbite and then extend that service to other virtual worlds were content creation is a feature.
Thank you
Liz Gallagher

oh! before I forget, we are looking for a website develop to work in the appearance of our exsiting site.
Currently its use is for admin and data storage and control.
All textures displayed in our stores are stored on our own servers and displayed in a primative way for our own use
We need someone to "pretty it up" and making it look and behave like a professional texture purchasing site.
You will be working directly with our systems manager combining ideas and concepts as he is the guy who works in the "engine" so to speak.
Please, if you feel you have the experience to add some buttons and turn it from a database storage site to a commercial site email me @ liz_gallagher2006@yahoo.com
Many Thanks!

Hi Liz,
I do not know anyone who glues two prims together in SL that doesn't have at least a couple of hundred textures from Textures R Us :¬)
You are responsible for people being distracted for days at a time, just looking at the many 1,000's of textures you have on display, it's like an Art Gallery.
