Is it possible to make a member section, that allows for members to log in, and check orders and such? Just like " my account" on this page

This will depend entirely on how your ordering system works. Can you expand?

What i think she wants is people to be able to go on her site, and click add to cart and then buy it. I think she wants them to have the ability to log in so she can check their order status and where its been shipped. However, I am not sure if this is really needed. If you look at the site, she already has the cart setup( even though it isnt finished) and the my account section. She wants something similiar to amazon.com where people can log in.

How did you make that? That is exactly what she wants, and that would allow them to check shipping status and order status

It’s a free script I used (downloaded from :: Free PHP Scripts ), and inserted the necessary markup in Freeway. I’ll try and see if I can digg up the (original) files used …

Thanks, that would help me out a lot, if she decides to have the account log in section

The easy part is the Log in (Password Protection) - that can be achieved with most hosting cPanels.
The reason I asked about the ordering system is that depending on how that works will depend how you access the order information - if at all?
I wasn’t sure if the link you provided was to the site that you want to implement this on or just an example of something similar?
If it is the site in question - a WordPress site - then I am sure that there will be a Plug-in for this functionality.
As usual if you can provide as much information as possible then we can come back with a more focused answer.

We’ll im not sure if she wants to be used on wordpress,thats the thing. I’ve never setup a area where people would be able to login before. All i know is that she wants a functioning site with a store. I personally don’t think she needs the " my account" sections since there is no blogging or any thing of that matter. She will be shipping her items via USPS, so im thinking of just going with another way to let customers know their items were shipped. I think that is how she wants the “my account” part. I’ll be talking to her monday to know exactly what she is looking for

You need a lot more information before we can give definitive answers.
The site you linked to is a WordPress site. If that is her site then you can forget doing anything in FW for it - not without some very serious coding.
If you are building a new site in FW for her that is a totally different matter and will greatly depend on what ecommerce solution she/you go with. Many have those sorts of features built in ie My Account log in etc.
I personally don’t think she needs the ” my account” sections since there is no blogging or any thing of that matter.
Blogging isn’t the issue here - not even relevant. The Shopping Cart is the key factor.
If she does not have a cart chosen yet then it is critical that you use one that is going to meet her needs - but until they are made absolutely clear (on Monday?) then there is little point speculating.
There are hundreds of Carts out there that work in many different ways.

Yeah, i hear where you are coming from. I’m going to try and convince her to do a site in FW. Is there any carts that would allow her customers to see their orders without having to login and view orders and such? Just basically adding a order number and having it show up?

It wouldn’t be much of a cart if anybody could see anybody else’s orders without a log in of some sort.
Spend some time looking at different carts - once you know exactly what she wants/needs - and see if you can find one that best matches her requirements.
Once you are at that stage then we can see about how easy/difficult it would be to integrate into FW. That is if she doesn’t want to stick with her WordPress site.
Carts before horses as they say.

The only way she could have gotten her domain through Wordpress is if she is using the wordpress.com (hosted blog/CMS system) rather than a local install of Wordpress on her server (far more common, since it’s free with your hosting + domain, not pay per month to Wordpress). This is a critical thing to figure out, since moving her off of Wordpress.com will be a larger issue than just building a site in Freeway. If she’s moving from [wordpress hosted on a cheap server] to [static HTML site designed in Freeway hosted on a cheap server], then that’s not much of a move at all. Don’t have to worry about migration of mail or other nasty bits like that.

Yeah, that’s what i need to figure out. I have a feeling that she just bought it through wordpress and didnt install it on a server, like godaddy or bluehost. If she did get domain through wordpress. Could i just reroute the site to another server,like godaddy or bluehost or would i have to use the wordpress site she has. Im asking because I want to keep the url and not have her buy another one.

That’s never a permanent problem, just an inconvenient amount of work / hassle to sort. All domains are registered at one or another registrar company. Moving a domain from one of these to another is work (they like to lock you in because that’s free money, but they are required by law/public policy to let you move if you ask them to) but it is definitely possible.
Find out more, and we can advise you which way to go.
Here’s what any person on the net can figure out about this domain:
### First we use dig to look up the domain
dig mybetterbids.com ANY
; <<>> DiG 9.8.5-P1 <<>> mybetterbids.com ANY
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 61457
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mybetterbids.com. IN ANY
;; ANSWER SECTION:
mybetterbids.com. 506 IN A 68.178.232.100
mybetterbids.com. 3506 IN NS ns24.domaincontrol.com.
mybetterbids.com. 3506 IN NS ns23.domaincontrol.com.
;; Query time: 31 msec

;; WHEN: Sun Feb 16 12:55:35 EST 2014
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 102
### Next we use host to find out about the server that hosts it
host mybetterbids.com
mybetterbids.com has address 68.178.232.100
mybetterbids.com mail is handled by 0 smtp.secureserver.net.
mybetterbids.com mail is handled by 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
### Then we can use whois to find out way more about the domain itself
whois mybetterbids.com
Whois Server Version 2.0
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net

## Next we do a reverse-lookup on the server that hosts it to see who it belongs to
host 68.178.232.100
100.232.178.68.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer parkwebwin-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net.
## And finally we do a lookup on that domain name, again with whois

So after all that, we know that this site is registered AND hosted at GoDaddy. So you have a couple of choices now. You can set up a normal (not Wordpress) site under the same account, and host it on GoDaddy. Or, you can move the domain and all the mail, etc. to another server (recommended, but not easy). Okay, there’s a third option – continue paying whatever to GoDaddy that they would charge you just to register the domain, set up a hosting account somewhere else entirely and use GoDaddy’s (awful) DNS control panel to point all Web traffic to that new server.
If you’re only using GoDaddy for DNS hosting, you can pay a little more and get an infinitely better product/service at Hover.com. They are truly great.

Since shes using go daddy already, it may just be simpler for her to continue using it. I will talk to her tomorrow. Can we gather from this information that wp is installed on her server?

Yes, that’s the only place that your domain points, so it must be there.
