If you have followed along with any of my small business threads, or even my cake bite threads, you are probably familiar with my website issues. I have distributed approximately 300 packages, all with my web address plastered to the front of them. Unfortunately, when you navigate to my webpage, www.russellsconfectionperfection.com , There is no pertinent information about me or my business. It is just a standard wordpress template page. I say standard. I've got some visual features there that I like, from a custom template started by a board member. I have not been able to get a hold of said board member over the last month and a half. Haven't heard from him since the first or second week of Nov. when my website crashed IIRC. I understand the Holiday season keeps a lot of people super busy, but the livelihood of my business is at stake here. (/rant)
I have two issues currently at hand.
1. I am looking for a new web hosting site. I am currently using yahoo small business, and would like to find something a bit more cost effective. I've had a few technical bumps along the way with them.
2. I have GOT to get my website functional. I have a photo shoot for some wedding cakes the last weekend of the month, I would love for this to be somewhat sorted in the next week (I am off today and tomorrow), however, I NEED it done by the time I get those pictures back from my photographer.
I am not proficient in Wordpress and it has been a LOT of years since I did any real web design.
www.russellsconfectionperfection.com/admin (web design done by a board member)
www.russellsconfectionperfection.com (web design created by me using as much code as I could harvest from the /admin site)
There are currently two wordpress installs on the server I am using. One was installed by the web designer, I don't have a log in for wordpress, however I can get to the design files. So, I installed my own directory and copied those word press files into the same templates in my directory. I believe that got me to where the site is right now. My ultimate goal would be the /admin site. However, I would be thrilled with a site that doesn't have the menu on the right side, has a functioning and organized photo gallery, has an intro, info, and basic pricing page.
Sorry if this is a cluster fuck of a post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't have the means for monetary compensation, however, I get rave reviews on all of my sweets....
