  Hello
  I was just told about this wonderful website by my IT guy. Looks like its going to be great But i still have a few questions.

  Do you help with the website building? or do we do it all on our own?

  If we do decide to build a website with you can i add an online store??

  If not can we link our own?

  Can you give me the price for the website as well as the store?

  Thank you
  Lucinda Beaty

  This is a peer support forum where Volunteers and Staff work cooperatively to deliver WordPress.com support. There is no phone support here and we Volunteers do not provide support by email.

  There are no websites for sale here. All blogs are free of charge and hosted free of charge.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. A website is a page based site designed to operate as a one way means of communication ie. a noticeboard.

  blog = site with post based structure
  website = site with page based structure

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based, but let’s put that aside for the moment. Please read this entry > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can use any theme here at WordPress.com to create a page based structure ie. a website rather than a post based structure ie. a blog.

  On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

  On the other hand, one can edit a WordPress.org theme free of charge. That’s why I suggested you read the comparison > WordPress.com and WordPress.org: The Differences
