How to build a site where company owners can showcase great design skills and sell online without getting a degree in HTML

Located in Frankfort, Michigan, just steps from the majestic Lake Michigan coastline, Betsie Bay Furniture is dedicated to the art of design and great service. The designers at our store, led by owners Jeff and Janet Hessler, have extensive experience in providing a full range of design services and assistance. Betsie Bay's boutique bespeaks it's reputation for professional design quality and impeccable service.
