Amish.Net The Company is based in Huntington Beach, California, and managed by Leslie A. Kelly. Kelly has been affiliated with the corporate world in management and administration for more than 35 years and has been a professional photographer for more than twenty five years
Scott Neader of La Crosse, Wisconsin, near Cashton, the largest Amish settlement in Wisconsin, is the owner of the URL (web site address) Amish Furniture | Amish Country | Amish Lifestyle | Amish Made and the owner of Internet Solutions where he hosts and builds websites.
Ok, so Scott Neader is the exception to the rule or should I expect the Amish NASCAR team soon?

Well, at least we know you check the links.
Seriously, the Amish don't use the internet themselves but aren't opposed to paying someone to do their marketing for them.

What is the difference in paying someone to create a website to advertise hand made leather goods and paying someone to paint a sign you stick alongside the road?

This might help: "The relationships the Amish have with the outside world and technology may at first seem arbitrary, but they are the result of careful consideration. The Amish are not fundamentally anti-technology; rather, they believe that change does not necessarily result in desirable ends. They have not banned all machines and methods invented in the past 150 years, but they do exercise extreme caution when dealing with new technologies. The Amish are cautious because they fear the changes that can accompany new technology. What a modern observer might see as potentially undesirable effects – like pollution and injuries caused by heavy equipment – however, are not major concerns for the Amish. The foremost reason the Amish carefully regulate technology is to preserve their culture."
And from the same article: "The Amish believe that technologies can reinforce social norms, enable or constrain the ways that people interact with one another, and shape a culture’s identity. But despite the fact the Amish believe technology is so powerful, they are not technological determinists. They do not view technology as an autonomous force, but rather as a tool that can be actively used to construct and maintain social order."

I currently live among the Amish/Mennonite, in fact, just got back from the bakery
I envy you. We can only get Amish bake goods in the summer when they show up at the farmer's markets in the area.
