[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3085523, member: 71642"]Well, thanks [USER=94610]@Jon Lacy[/USER]...I just spent about an hour and a half scrolling through the Airtable site :D. Seriously, that site is feeds a few thoughts I've been having for things from travel planning, organizing my books, and about a dozen other things (oh, and don't forget the tangents--the David Bowie sample ooohhh....). And, of course, coins. Looks like a decent coin database would be fairly easy (well except for the data input) but how nice to have when at a show or something. [USER=4373]@gxseries[/USER] I love your website. Sure, the design is a bit dated looking--sort of like a forum format before an update. HOWEVER, the organization and 'meat' of the site is extremely suited to the coins. A page, relevant information, and the grid photos suit this in a most excellent fashion. Like you say, it's both a display and a catalog for your personal collection. But I would also argue that it's also an information site far beyond those functions, hence the need for more than just a database. Plus, I like the visual/grid appearance quite a bit. There are webuilding sites (weebly, wix, wordpress---why do so many start with 'w'???), where you might find a template that suits. So many of those are geared towards marketing/small businesses, but something might click--information pages that allow for database integration I suppose.
