However; I just wanted to try to get some information for myself so that I can have a better understanding of what exactly the differences are (gotta keep up with new technology to some degree) but, I have a 26 year old son that can learn any program, etc, and he will be doing the wordpress site for us.

The custom home comes with all the features you will need, and will future-proof you from needing to scrap your website and start over every year or two to keep up with technology.

Technology is changing. 

They have awesome technology for searching. 

I understand the temptation to play around with cool toys and technology.

If I own a computer technology firm, and someone comes in with a liberal arts degree, that is worthless to me.

I had a company (Advance Mold Technologies) at the property doing tests by 2:30pm that same day.Nothing more than their self-claims and some "hear-say" evidence.

I have always been a fan of heat pump technology for my own personal use albeit I don't know what I don't know on it.  

Jeff,I am from CA, not Chicago, but with technology today, I do not think it is necessary.

I have enjoyed the landscaping we have done around our buildings because of the great response from the town and neighbors.I also enjoy learning new tricks and technologies on here to deploy.
