Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. i've taken notes and when the time comes, i'm going to pay for a full-fledged site with online transactions and product with our own domain name.

I'm just starting out and the Homestead website was just basically to get our biz on the net and get the word out. It' only costs like $9 a month for what we have there and CJB.net is just a redirection URL so people don't have to try to remember a long Homestead website name

As much as I'd like to get one, I'm laid off indefinitely at the moment and our plant announced before Xams it plans to close in the spring so $$$ for a full bore website unfortunately isn't available as my g/f and i have a luxury apt and a little girl included in our budget.

i know the site is pretty basic and not even remotely close to being up to par with most other websites out there. we just just wanted to get our contact info and product lines out there so people could check things out on their own 24/7 whenever they had time. Our biz is home-based and it is geared mostly towards local sport compact enthusiasts but we wanted to let people elswhere know that we will mail-order parts or allow you to come pick them up.

I was going to go through our local Development Program for Small Businesses but there's way too much red-tape and paperwork and we'd spedn most of our time making reports two or three times a month to submit to the local government office. The way we're doing it now is better because we have no real overhead to worry about or inventory to try to sell off. Until thyings take off we're just making due with what we can for now.

I really do appreciate all the comments and suggestions. Keep them coming because even though I've been in the Honda building/racing/show scene for a number of years now (racing my '95 C ivic seriously now for about a year and a half) we are new to the whole business aspect of things and we dont' want to bite off more than we can chew.

again, thanks for the replies and feel free to post more. we could use the help

P.S. We're still working on the site so that's why some things haven't been finished or still have to created. There's not much we can do with Homestead aside from what you see there.

Steve-O.
