This website was created using a $12 web template. Like most templates it was not exactly what I wanted but close enough. Most important the artwork was done so customization was fast and easy.

EVERY business owner wants a good looking establishment.
That can be a storefront on the street or a storefront online.

My name is Linda and this site is a one woman operation.
I have been into web design for over 10 years.

I own a hosting company and run at least 50 of my own domains from it.
I insist on a reliable server.

I offer my clients honesty and my full attention.
I keep solidly in mind how I want to be treated as a customer.

The product you find here I have tried and am enthused about myself.
My motto is "if it works for me (and it has to easily) then it will work for you too."

So with all of that in mind enjoy the site and most of all enjoy your internet experience.

If you want to customize your own template and need help go HERE. If you want me to do it for you then drop me a line at Linda

Not everyone has the time or wants to learn web design. A great looking website would be fantastic. If you have an extra $500 to $1000 or more to have a designer start from scratch, then templates probably are not for you. If however you would like to cut some serious dollar corners then a web template probably is.

These templates are created by first rate designers from around the world. So today everyone has an opportunity to have a fantastic look at a reasonable price. If you think a professional site does not make a differance then think again. You have one opportunity to make a good impression. If you have a shoddy looking site the client will think the same of your product or work.

As a business person you want and need a shopping cart. Shopping carts have been developing for years now. The problem has been "how user friendly are they?" Does it integrate into your own site design so that it does not look like you just nabbed something on the fly? The answer has been NO ... the business owner was stuck with a cookie cutter look that in no way matched his site design. Those companies that had a few thousand extra dollars hanging around had carts that matched their site. Those who didn't made do.

Today we have Avactis Shopping Cart.

Until now I have not promoted ANY cart to my clients.
1. They are costly to configure and design in man hours.
2. With each upgrade in the software the business person had to have someone re-integrate the site look.
3. Or the business owner keeps what he has and does not get the latest perks.

Well suddenly the problem is solved!
My first reaction was "Oh sure!"
Then "Oh my gosh ... THIS REALLY WORKS!"
This great innovative product is the Avactis Shopping Cart
I have worked with the design part of this cart for over a year now ... it is genius
The developers are top rate and working as hard and fast as they can to add all of the bells and whistles that shop owners want and need.
Best of all with every upgrade your cart design is not broken.

The working software (the part that makes the cart operate) is separate from the design. This gives the business owner several solutions that to this point have not been available.
1. He can use the default look that comes with the software.
2. He can purchase for a relatively small amount (under $70) a store style that simply drops into the installed cart.
3. He can hire someone to customize his site design into the new cart or do it himself if he chooses.
4. Each product carried can have a different store look. For instance if you sell electronics you can have that look for one part of your store. If you sell books you can have another look.
5. Adding product is a point, type and click dream come true.

All of this design is done one time. You no longer need to pay extra for a designer to redo work already done. Your time is equal to dollars and cents. If you do your own work or hire someone to do it for you it is money out of your pocket.

Avactis Store Styles offers 2 special bundles for $199:
1. The cart license and a "$50 Credit" off the store style of your choice or 1 year of free server space for your domain and cart.

Over the years I have tried several.
One big name company simply lost my registration mid year after I had paid. I was extremely lucky to get it back without having to take legal action ... they had sold it to someone else.
Finally I found GoDaddy

I have found this company to have great technical support (if you need them).
You have full control of your own domains and they are very competitive in pricing.
