Thank you so much David, I needed that advice, It reinforced my 'gut'
reaction because my 'dealer' also *advised* me about a lot of other
stuff I really need for my business.
I'm getting some general business advice but not from web design
specialists & everyone seems to have an 'angle' or to want to give
some advice rather than admit they don't really know the best moves
forward.
I've had other business ventures & done various projects which have
called on me to use IT skills but I think the reall problem may be that
at 51, I'm maybe biting off more than I can chew.
I think my ideas are so good, I'm better aiming at a trial web-site
with some low key products to see what kinks there are in the complete
business system, before hitting the market with my own product line.
Thanks again, I'll stay in touch with this group, & try & follow the
threads. Verity
