Site Live

Well my site finally went live last night. Its at http://www.mygolftrader.co.uk for anyone that wants to have a look.

I’m reasonably happy with it, but the realisation that I have come to during the past 3 or 4 weeks is twofold:

> I have had to do a HELL of a lot of customisations to the theme – and I can forsee a steady stream of developments still needed to get it anywhere near to some of the functionality I want. (business shops, feedback system,proper messaging system, shipping options, acount credit facility, etc etc) The list feels endless.

> WordPress is not a good platform for an auction theme/site. I am already looking down the PHP script and Joomla route. Both of which have a couple of very good options with MASSIVE out of the box functionality, which means configuration rather than development.

I still don’t have paypal adaptive working (should be today) and to date I have spent around £2000 customising this theme. I like it – but it has many flaws and problems which only become apparent when you get stuck into it.
