Locate-A-Flower-Shop now hosting websites

[CHR]

This ought to shake up the florist web-hosting world a bit: http://www.lafscom.net/index.aspx

Customizable with a couple different packages. One is FREE but definitely not a good idea, the other is only $39.95/mo, includes a premium listing in LAFS and a per-order fee of .39. It interfaces with FAS or you can receive orders via fax and/or email.

Sample site. He already has the complete TF, FTD & BMT catalogs at the ready - plus florists can upload their own products.

Also says they've established partnerships with some drop-shippers which can be easily added to each site (but I haven't looked at the details).

The templates seem much too light in the SEO department but they're definitely worth a look for the novice.

Oh oh - the fully functioning demo didn't function fully - basket error. Must still be a work in progress perhaps?

yep, i got the solicitation just today. I use to have a listing on their website a couple years ago, but dropped it because it seemed as though the rankings where not as high as they once were. I did a search for "locate a flower shop in Aurora CO" and my site came up before their directory. Also, I wasn't too impressed with the ability to purchase their website and then sell FTD products.
