So, she's non technical and somehow has a website that someone presumably set up, installed on a server and maintained etc? Or she's 'solo'? There's talk of a founder being cut out early on (cannot confirm or refute)... In short, there's parts to this story that are missing.

You can't just throw up your favourite flavour of CMS with a theme from themeforest and magically hit it off, there's technical considerations that need to be made.

3 Options really.

1. She is technical and knows all about web development (no idea why she'd lie about that though)

2. She did indeed have a founder she cut out.

3. She wasn't solo on the project.

Something doesn't gel here.
