    Many links do not work and there are no response to questions and concerns that are posted. Like others have stated, this site is not search friendly. Does anyone who works at Craftsy care? I cannot tell you how disappointed I am.

  2. Pat Redekopp

    I am noticing a lot of links not working here. I thought you would have had things up and running by now.

  3. Tara Tess

    None of the "get the free design" links work! I paid lots of money for this site and it is not search friendly. Very frustrating.
