Ok.  So you’re ready for a website.

You’ve run though your choices and eliminated the flawed possibilities.

1) Do-it-yourself?  The Web-equivalent of Amateur Poetry Recitation at the Dabbler’s Cafe.  Ok.  Scratch that one.

2) Hire a Full Time Internet Know-it-all?  No.  You just want a website, not a funky live-in brother-in-law who eats you out of house and home for the rest of your life.

3) Hook yourself up to yet another Intravenous Monthly Money drain?  X-Bucks a month from now until for ever from you to McWebsiteDaddy.  AKA: You’re not a Face.  You’re not a Name.  You’re just one of McBillions of McCreditCardNumbers McServed and don’t you dare try to call us and talk to a real person because you think you’re so McSpecial or something.

4) Website Templates.  Yes, yes, yes!  Plastic Posers wearing someone else’s warm, sweaty gym shoes.  Let’s just run next door and borrow our neighbor’s toothbrush.

And it doesn’t really benefit you much to grant loyalty to a particular tire distributor, independent of getting the brand and model you may prefer.  But, in this case, when it’s all said and done, you can afford to jump from source to source because Price drives tires.

But nobody plays Hopscotch with their Dentist.
