Hi Pierre,
Yeah, getting professional help was my first instinct—contemplating the replacement of the web site I stumbled through creating more than 20 years ago fed all my catastrophic fantasies. But we’re a mom-and-pop nonprofit without any budget at all, surviving on SS, so I dismissed the idea of paid help.
As it turned out, the practical demands of creating the new site were not all that daunting. It’s taken less than two weeks to finish the new site, get it up and running on a sub-domain, and get all the typos and broken links fixed—so it’s now ready for my partner’s okay to put it online.
It really made a difference for me to have the practical help and encouragement of the folks here. Without it, I probably wouldn’t have made the attempt.
