My name is Roma Radford. Feel free to email me with any questions. My personal site can be accessed at either www.hemaday.com or daylilyfans.com/hemaday. I expect to add many more pictures this bloom season.

I expect club websites to always be free.

Websites are free for AHS members. If this takes off and ultimately hosts hundreds of sites, then I might have a yearly fundraising drive of some sort. However, I believe I can host a LOT of sites under my current setup.

I will help you as much as I can, but ultimately I would like for you maintain the data in your own site. I will try to make the data management as simple as possible. There are no limits to how often you may change your data. If you can provide me with a spreadsheet sales list, then I can do an inital import of your data. Similiarly, if you can provide me with a CD of images where the name of each image matches a name in your sales list, then I can do the initial import of your images as well. See the Get Started link for more info.

No. If you wish to purchase a domain name, then we can point that domain to your site. For example, you can currently view the Woodhenge Gardens website at either www.woodhengegardens.com or daylilyfans.com/woodhenge/ You should budget $10 to $25 a year for the purchase of the domain name. I have purchased my domains through www.dyndns.com. Many people use www.godaddy.com or www.dynadot.com as well. Contact me if you have any questions.

No. I don't foresee any need for such limits.

The site needs to be primarily daylily related. Any items for sale should be either daylilies or daylily related merchandise. The occasional companion plant is acceptable. :) You shouldn't use the site to share copyrighted content unless you own the copyright. You shouldn't put anything on the site that I would feel uncomfortable showing to my 9 year old daughter.

I have plans to integrate with Paypal and Google Checkout. However, I have not yet started those integrations and I do not know when they will be finished. You would need to have an account with either PayPal or Google Checkout, but your customers would not. PayPal or Google will likely charge you a small fee per transaction and a small percentage of the total.

Currently, you can specify different colors and fonts. In the future, you will likely be able to choose among different layouts, but I do not have a timetable for offering that functionality. There is a good chance that I can reuse your current site design if you are happy with it. Also, if you have a theme/template that you like, then I can probably use it. Here are a few sites that offer free templates/themes

• www.freecsstemplates.org/css-templates/
• www.oswd.org/designs/browse/
• www.layouts4free.com/free-layouts/xhtml-css/

No. I am choosing to focus my efforts on things that better suit my strengths. However, if you have a logo or header, then we can determine the best way to use it on your site.

The daylilyfans.com site is hosted by WebFaction. Their services are more geared towards programmers. If that describes you, then I highly recommend them.

I wanted a good excuse to work with technologies that I don't get to use in my day job, specifically Linux, Python, and Django. I also felt like there were many garden owners who would appreciate being able to easily update their listings when needed.

I want people to use it. I want to see more daylily info and pictures on line. I want to have some practice running a public site with a lot of users.
