Danish Pastry guinea pigs needed
Dervacumen:
Round two is about to commence. I received word that I will be making pastry for an event on March 23 but it's only for 150 people, so that's good as far as production goes.
I'm hoping I can get round two out on the 27th, which is a Tuesday.
For this large event, I'm now tasked with throwing together a bastardized website so I might attract a few inquiries. People seem hesitant to call me on my cell, and a passive inquiry form on a website might be more effective. That's going to be interesting. I have WebEasy8 that I can use but right now I think that's overkill. All I want to do is put together maybe one or two pages with a few pictures and a spot or three for text. Maybe just a splash screen with an email link. Can someone give me a really quick rundown of how to do this? I tend to get caught up in detail when I'm working on new projects. I'd like to keep it simple and functional. Just getting a web host, email address and page is all I need. I've got a name in mind for the domain.
Many thanks!

Maybe consider setting up a Wordpress site. Just browse through the templates, find one you like, customize with logos and the like. There are plugins to do pretty much anything you can think of. You'll find free plugins for everything from email forms to mailing lists (for newsletters and the like).

I successfully got 22 of these Danish rings off to a decent sized event on Friday so now I'm about to bake for round two. I sent the round two group a PM just to confirm.
I also decided to put up a static page at www.hollisterdanish.com. It's rough but functional. After I finished the rings I had one batch of dough to play with so I started making shapes. Which ones appeal to you? I had several more shapes but I didn't get decent pics. I was exhausted.

Those woven diamonds in the second pic look awesome.

Ditto, in a cafe I'd take a woven diamond or a bear claw type one over all the others. The square one isn't as appetizing to me.
