I am working on starting a pottery business. This will be part time...in addition to my full time job. Plan to sell mostly at festivals with a couple of local outlets.

I want to have a website with a few pics and information about the pottery. Don't want people to be able to buy from the site..prefer they email me.

So a simple site.

So...anyone got any recommendations about where to go to get a decent little website for a good price?

I own a website design company. What are you looking to spend?

As a start up....on a thin shoe string.

It is something that will grow slowly. Will not really generate business through the website...for a while. Pottery is something you have to see and connect with.

Wish I could afford a company like yours. Hope I get there.

You might talk to a local high school business department or community college. They may have some kids that will build you a site as a class project. If you're close to the Charlotte area, I have some kids that might help.

Or if you want to learn a bit, you could put your own wordpress site together without too much trouble.

LP, Ive been doing business software and web development for 15 years and am currently the Director of IT for a pretty large not for profit here in NC.

Wordpress is a fine software pkg and if you were going to be doing anything that resembled blogging it would be my first choice.

But for what you describe I would advise you to give serious consideration to a Godaddy account and site. They are cheap and the website designer is pretty simple for non-techy folks to use. They have a huge tech support group and are a great gateway for folks just starting out with their first website.

Post an add on craigslist, maybe a student will help you out. Here are some free ones I know of.

MSN communities, Godaddy, Yahoo Geocites and angel fire are always userfriendly, the MSN one is VERY friendly. The issue with anything free is there will be probably be some sort of site link or advertising.

If you're going to manage files for a site and design and aren't comfortable with HTML it yourself I suggest paying for it. Believe it or not the design of the site is part of the buisness whether you think so or not. Pure marketing schemes, it needs to be organized in a certain way. You'll have to pay for hosting either way, you might as well spend on someone to set it up right.

If you decide to go with Godaddy, I have a godaddy reseller account, I can get you hosting for cheaper than you can get from their normal site. I'll give it to you at cost, which is about 30% cheaper than normal users can get.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
