Is that hanging weight? I still donāt see where a web site is needed unless you are processing 25 or more a year and that will help with to many phone calls. Are you selling wagyu and if you are actually selling it for that price we need to talk. From what I have found with the Wagyu around here those people willing to pay those prices only want the prime cuts and could care less about the rest of it.With my asking price of $12 per pound I need to look a little more professional.
websites can be done fairly inexpensively but if you do it you need to get a visually attractive one, not one that looks like it's cobbled together, so I'd suggest not letting just anyone do it. Put some nice pictures on it, doesn't have to be all close ups of cattle, just some nice pics of the farm with cattle in the pasture and some close ups. Websites aren't for you they are for your customers so you need a website in place that visualizes what the customer would like to see and look at. They also aren't overkill, they make you accessible to buyers and attract a higher end buyer who is probably not going to be as concerned about price as they are product, it will allow you to sell into the future and always have a list of customers waiting a lot of which will give you a deposit . We don't sell cattle like that but are probably going to do it soon. I do have other businesses and they alleviate a large part of the problems in growing a business, mainly finding customers with money willing to pay and the ability to have a data base you can reach out and turn on and off when you need them. You can find designers and builders on Fiverr.com or I use a friend that is a website builder by tradeWhen people contact me from Facebook or from the word of mouth around town or the sign out front, they always ask for a website to see our farm.
Was thinking about one also. We only do 5-7 animals a year, so far.
As of now we have to direct them to my wife's Instagram page.
Before I got back into farming, I was a zombie in the corporate world and building websites was one of the things I did. I was a heavy equipment auctioneer and built my own site, as well as a few others for other auctioneers. It was one of those things that I had no formal training in, but had to do it in order to keep up.Good morning. I am looking for advice on building a website or software to sell beef..

I would go with Shopify for any retail merchandise. If you go with a "traditional" site, you'll still have to build your ecommerce or use Shopify to sell online.Good morning.

How long has it been since you built a Wordpress site? I've been with Wordpress off and on since 2004 or 2005, hand coding CSS, Javascript, and XHTML. There's no way, would call the modern Wordpress "moderately difficult" for a beginner these days. Just getting through templates and plugins is overwhelming.It's moderate in difficulty if you're new to building, but is easier to figure out than most.
I should add that a mailing list and newsletter will be a far more valuable asset than your website. Newsletter platforms are very user friendly these days and you can start it before you even have your site launch.Good morning.
