Nice improvement - Like the look and layout!
In today's electronic world, a well thought out web site with quality photos showing a bowyers work can be one of the most important forms of advertising. It is working 24/7 putting your wares out there for all to see.
I can only assume some of the other bowyers are already so busy they don't worry about attracting new customers since they have web sites that haven't been updated in 3-4 years, have show schedules from 2-3 years ago...etc. Not sure why you would keep paying for the web hosting and have that be the face of your business.
