Website Update

Greetings Friends,

I finally took some time out of my regular work schedule to update the Metal King Studio/Relicblade website. I am a relatively competent artist. But web development is not one of my skills. I have used Squarespace for my website since around 2012.

Squarespace is a blessing and a curse. It is relatively easy to set up a website, but you have to put up with a lot of general sub-optimal qualities. Especially when it comes to commerce. My web store, which is my main source of income, is difficult to navigate and slightly less usable than a website from the mid 90s.

The good thing about the update is that my web store is no longer worse than a website from the 1990s. It is more like an alternate squarespace timeline where people don’t really shop online.

Man. I really hate squarespace.

Customer Accounts

In order to get slightly better functionality I had to completely rebuild my website to update from 7.0 to 7.1. This is absolutely insane, because I had almost ten years of customer information on my old website that could not be transferred.

Not only did I have to completely remake the web store items for all the digital goods on my store. But customers who purchased those items in the past no longer have access to their accounts!

If you had a customer account and need to recover access to your files please email me at Sean@relicblade.com

We can manually add your digital items back to a new account.
