Notes

What each kind of site includes.

A club, a shop, a dealer, or a local business. What is already in the build, and what is separate.

Every build is custom.

Base build

  • A local business site is pages for the work, the area, and a way to get in touch. A change to the words is a site edit.
  • A shop site is pages for the shop and what it sells. Those pages are not a product catalog.
  • A club site is a public page for who they are, what they do, and how to join. A line that says when they meet is part of this. A schedule the club edits is not.

Add-ons

  • Product catalog. The owner adds, edits, and removes products, prices, and photos. This is the first place an item is managed. It is not included in the shop pages.
  • Ask about an item. A form on that item. Payment stays off the site. Separate from the contact form.
  • Pay on the site. The visitor pays before the order is done. A license check, an age question, or a custom-order rule is a further job.
  • Dates the owner edits. A public list the owner adds and removes. The line on the page is already in the base.
  • Member login. Members open pages the public cannot. Dues are not this.
  • Suggest a time. The visitor names a time and the owner confirms it.
  • Booking calendar. The owner sets times in the admin. The visitor requests a time and the address for the visit. The owner confirms or moves it. Email goes to both. A phone screen on the home screen is how the owner does that away from a desk.
  • Replace a site that is already up.

A full store is the shop pages, plus the catalog, plus pay on the site. It is those add-ons, not a different base. A FFL dealer site is a full store plus the transfer: the receiving FFL on the order, and knowing a firearm does not ship to a house.

Websites for clubs and organizations.

Who the club is, what they do, and how to join.

Websites for small shops and online stores.

Pages for the shop and what it sells. A catalog, an ask, or pay-on-the-site are add-ons.

Websites for FFL dealers and gun shops.

A shop site, plus the transfer, the dealer on the order, and a processor that will take the sale.

Websites for local service businesses.

Pages for the work, the area served, and a way to get in touch.
