Well week two sure went by fast. I have discovered that my initial plan of creating a website for Cuckoos as well as the menu may not be possible in the time I have. Only one more week... The web hosting service that Cuckoos was using until yesterday did not support the use of Wordpress to create and edit a new website. Let me tell you it was a pain to even figure that out, multiple calls, multiple emails, and still no answers. Extremely frustrating when you are in a time crunch. Finally the IT guy for Chimera, Mark, was able to call and finally get answers. When another girl, Cassidy, and I tried to call the man treated us as though we knew nothing (we are both fairly new to this website building process) which wasn't very good customer service. In the end the answer that took so long to get was that what we were trying to do is impossible using this web hosting service. Which led to the process of switching Cuckoos to Bluehost so that we could use the desired program in order to make a new and improved stunning website. Of course this came with a whole new set of obstacles. However in the end I am back at square one with a new web hosting service with a week left to complete my objective, as well as finalize the new menu. I've learned that there is a lot more that goes into creating a website from scratch than I knew. I have also learned that no matter what the situation, when you are dealing with a client never treat them with the slightest disrespect, never. A little kindness goes a long way, while I have known this I didn't fully understand its implications in the business world. LINK is going by so fast, I am not ready for it to end.
