In the beginning, the internet was home to biz-card websites that promised vast returns of wealth to enterpreneurs and web developers alike. Now, years later, the true nature of the internet is starting to emerge -- a resource for communication by like minds. More and more, serious craftsmen and supply companies today have a presence on the Internet to communicate with their peers and customers. Whether a brief listing on someone else's web site, or a full-blown professionally-designed site of their own, you've probably already learned the hard way that having a web presence is one thing, but getting fellow craftsmen to visit it regularly is quite another. The fact is that most leather industry firms that have put up a company web site have been somewhat disappointed with the results.
Reason's vary, but the truth has always been that good information and good mechanics for distributing it are the keys to a successful online community. This renewed version of Leathercrafters.com is focused on providing a forum for sharing ideas, having discussions, and promoting the art, craft, and industry.
