[nfbcs] Help with website making decision?

[Littlefield, Tyler]

hello:
Usually people have pre-written login systems that they can drop in for 
you. You'd also use something like stripe for credit card payments--I'm 
not sure if wordpress has a plugin for it. If you're interested, feel 
free to get in touch--I'd love to work something out with you to get 
your site going if you want to go the route of the prebuilt site. It 
will be slightly faster than Wordpress, but that also depends on where 
you're hosting it as well--the sites I host usually have a reverse proxy 
on top of them, which means that all of your content is delivered a lot 
faster with the exception of dynamic pages.
