Vintage Design Links

Not everybody will agree that linking your website to another in the same field as yourself is a good idea, but I beg to differ. I admire websites who offer links to other simmilar sites and are open to healthy competition. Offering links is a good way of building up a network of friends who deal in the same business as the one you are in and this is a positive and constructive way to opperate. Especialley if you are only opperating online. People will navigate away from the site they are viewing and go off and find all kinds of relevant sites, links, and this is fact, will always come back to your site if you have what they are looking for at the price they can afford, and they will keep comming back if you are competitive, offer good knolledge base and if they like your site. In my experience offering website links is a way to increase your pofile, popularity and develope your online presence in a very ecconomic and constructive way.

Juat take a look at some of these design directories who offer free links.
Design Addict
Retro Start
Artnet
GOMOD
Vintage 20th Century Links page to a number of Vintage Design dealers

These are but a few from thousands of informative well established websites offering hope to the beginer and the optimist.

I am aware that there will always be two camps, one for and one against and thats just the way the cookie crumbles.

Thanks and lots of love to my vintage design tribe.

Vintage Design

Hi our new vintage design studio has just opened in Kilkenny. We have been trying to open a vintage design shop for nearly two years now and we are very relieved that we have achieved it. We tryed to open up in Thomastown but what with flooding and bad timming, it just didnt happen, so you can imagine that we are very very happy to announce, that we are based in 11 Irish Town, which is at the bottom end of the high street in the oldest part of Kilkenny. The shop has been used as a car showroom and prior to that it was a bar and it has a real nice ambience. We have tried to keep it simple, to keep our concept clear and to let the furniture speak for itself. Why not come a visit us for your retro and vintage design needs.
