Working on The New E-Commerce Website
Well, things are going pretty good on the technology side of the new business.
I’ve made great progress in the website design and should be finishing up by tomorrow night. It’ll be just a matter of doing the shopping cart templates so it matches rest of the site. I should have a full working demo site up by the end of the weekend, hopefully.
Hosting is kind of in limbo right now. We have to get new hosting because the current web host she’s using doesn’t support the features we need. I’m working on getting a VDS account on a friend’s server but he’s been on vacation the last week and I haven’t had a chance to talk to him at all this week.
I’ll keep trying to work to get setup with him but if not I may go out searching for other options. We’ll just see.
On the merchandise side this are also going very well. My girlfriend has been a dynamo and sewing up a storm! We should have a good stock at launch.
The one lacking area is in the business plan. We really need to buckle down and get working on that. I think maybe this weekend I’ll have her come over and we’ll spend a whole day Saturday or Sunday and just plow through as much as we can. It’s really just a matter of getting the ball rolling. Right now the idea of basically writing a 20 page essay seems daunting but once it’s starting it’ll just flow really quickly I’m sure.
