What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?

Finding the right designer. We originally started the site in January but didn't get it completed until March. One of the ost important pages that were missing was our contact page! Because the web designer took too long to make the requested changes, I switched designers and now have a much better site. Still having major trouble with the email though. The site also needs to be updated with correct pictures and package descriptions.

What has been the easist part of operating your website?

none really!

What was your biggest mistake?
