Testify sista! That's CIO Mag worthy. I fight this mindset every day: this IT black magic (tool, server, software, website, et al) will solve all of our problems. NO! 99% of the time the problem is business process NOT IT. As as long as I'm yellin' let me make one other point about one of the largest killers of small business: debt. Many people, when they start a business, get all excited and romantic and buy all kinds of stuff: cell phones, software, computers, office space - even hire people. What they don't think about is that every penny they just spent has to come back in the form of revenue (business) just to get back to $0. Urge you mother-in-law to find some clients first that want this service: figure out the segmentation, figure out why the web site will attract them and prove how with data. If you can't do that then the business has already failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:265041 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
