Betty,
You are one of the most well read, business oriented framers I know, but I'm going to strongly dissagree with your philosophy stated above.
Web savy visitors are intolerant of partially completed websites, and "non-up-to-date" methods. Folks who shop on the internet, do so for one of two reasons.....1) They're very busy people, or 2) They live on the internet.
In both of these situations, how much time do you think a visitor will spend on a website, when they read...
To place an order for any of our wonderful items, please print this form and fax or mail this to us at......
They've already backed to the search term, and moved on to another site.

Don't let that happen. The phrase,
Do it Right, or don't do it at all holds more water when you're discussing web business than anywhere else.
Don't launch your website, until it's user friendly, and developed. Positioning the site is another matter, but any visitors should have an experience that keeps them on your site, and makes them want to come back.
Geee......just like a real store.
