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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
