My mom and her friend are opening a new business in the next month or two. They have enlisted me to do a lot of their graphic design and online stuff (managing their facebook page, etc). They want me to help them create a website. The site will be mostly informational at first, but they want to eventually sell stuff online and set up a cart and all that.
I built websites many years ago using Homestead (because I am okay with design, but I don't know anything about writing code). My mom and her friend are somewhat computer illiterate. I would like to help them set the website up, but keep everything simple enough that they can do cart maintenance and make simple changes without calling me every 2 minutes while I'm at school or my other job asking me to come over and change things for them.
Can anyone here recommend some options for how I can get this done? I know there are hosting places around such as fatcow.com and homestead, but it seems like the results often don't work that well and kind of look less than professional (that was my experience with homestead anyways. Our site loaded very slowly and was pretty buggy). I have Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium, and I should be upgrading it to the current version in the next 6 months, but I've never tried website stuff with it before. Any ideas?
