I started making a new web site. This is the first new website I’ve made in a while. It is small – about 6 pages. I had forgotten how much work goes into creating a hand crafted site. All the stuff that WordPress made easy is just a little more complicated when I have to edit each separate page.
I am using it as a way to sell my honey. I keep bees – four hives – and this fall I am harvesting honey by the gallon. This means that I have to sell the honey. I normally sell the honey by hanging a sign at the driveway, and people passing by stop by three or four times a week. I now have so much honey that I need to increase that. I need to triple my sales.
Some people said that they have googled “local honey” for Rockland County, NY and found nothing. My website is an attempt to correct this. I have a google map on the home page and the site is a pitch for natural honey.
The site is not done, yet. I am adding content between tasks at work. I need to make a facebook page for the site.
I am also exploring the legality of selling the honey over the internet. I can sell in NY because I am considered a farmer and I can sell in my farm stand. I don’t think the feds would like me selling my honey across state lines.
In addition to the site, I am going to put an add in craigslist.
Here’s the site: West Nyack, NY Local Honey.
