I started this in CB, but it is too large for there.

I've got an opportunity I would like any sane comment on (need not be constructive comment). I have some friends with reasoable money to spend on a retail venture. As the most techie and artistic (and poorest, though not really poor), of the circle of friends, I've been tapped to set up the web page(s).

I can handle the basics of the web page, I welcome the chance to grow and I presume I could conceivably end up with the opportunity to be webmaster, IT guy, or at least have right of first refusal on some of this. The plan is to grow to several stores ( 2 < n < 50), and court a sale to a larger concern and get out. I can't say too much more about that, but I am wondering if anyone know any good resources (books, etc) for management of websites, or any other comment
