Foam Monkey posted:Could anybody please give me some advice on where to look for help on setting this up? You're looking for someone who builds websites for a living. Why would you agree to take this on if you don't know how to do that? More importantly........ Foam Monkey posted:wanting to build a website for it because there isn’t a lot of local business coming in How does a web site fix that problem? There may be some unreasonable expectations going on. You're better of using social media to drum up business than putting together some bland template web site that's not going to get indexed well and nobody is going to go to.

Foam Monkey posted:They want a website to toss into a magazine ad for hobbyists. Wow. Perhaps they should hire someone who has some semblance of an idea how to market what they produce? Or maybe direct their production into an area where they can make money. They don't sound qualified to do this on their own, which is pretty typical of a lot of small businesses. But if you're in a niche one you better be able to figure it our or hire it out. If you're going to do this anyway, just use Squarespace or similar. They obviously won't be capable of maintaining/updating the content on anything else. Speaking of which, they HAVE provided you with quality photos and copy, right? Along with SKUs and prices for the e-commerce portion. Or is this another one of those deals where they think web sites are just technical things and you can figure out the rest? In case it's not obvious enough, I think this is a bad idea and you should tell them that it's a bad idea and ask them to spend some more timing coming up with an actual business and marketing plan before they go entirely out of business. Because if they "can't afford" to pay for someone to develop what sounds like a very simple ecommerce site I don't think they'll be in business much longer.
