Hi Micheal
What problems have you had with one and one ???
Steve
-
steve i have just done that thanks. ;)
-
I agree, impressive site, well done that man! ;)
I am going to get my site going this year ASAP, but i'm being lazy and getting someone i know to do it for me and half the reason is he's just starting out on himself also (bit of back scrathing).
If anyone is interested in a look at his site and what he is capable to provide visit http://www.8ballmultimedia.com

Hi Micheal
When you say they kicked you out after an hour do you mean with the website creator ???
Steve

Mike,
I love the site its very good and professional too.
The only thing is look at your contacts page - you spelt it contant information. I may be sad but I spotted it. Do you think I am sad? But hey at least you can correct it.

A job well done , roughly how long did it take you to do it .I know it must have been a hour here and there
-
Top man really good site.
Well done
Alan
-
It didnt realy take that long i did over 3-4 day's.
I have built a couple of website's before and know what software to use.
Thanks to everyone for spoting the spelling mistacks lol ;D it my only Problem i can't spell.
-
Hi mate
join the club word and my spell checker are a life saver to me.
No probs though good site.
Alan

Very good site Michael.
I especially like the trickling graphics at the top.
Just one thing though, my english teacher used to go on about what she called "person consistency". It means that you dont switch from "I" and "me" to "we" or "us"
I noticed at some places you say "I" and others "we" - this can be a bit confusing. Sometimes its better to be impersonal:
"AllSeasons is based at..." instead of "I am based at..."
Also, the more you use your company name, the more people will remember it.
Sorry to be picky, but if I noticed that, others will too.
By the way, did you have to pay for that "PayPal" thing? That's a great idea.
Silly
-
Yeah, I think Paypal is really interesting. More and more people are familiar with it these days through shopping on Ebay. If I could get all my customers to use it, I'd be laughing! ;D
Anyone else using Paypal successfully? ???
-
Hi Allseasons,
First class site I am impressed 8)
However please dont think I am critisizing but I found a small mistake in your conservatory section.
You have used two different spellings of the word the one in the title being correct.
And where you write
All work on roof's are done by ungers HI-FLO. Maybe you could try something like
All roof work is done using Ungers HI-FLO
Only my Humble opinion and in no way a criticism
In fact if you have no objection I may use one or two of your ideas on a site I am working on for myself.
Imitation is the finest form of flattery
-
I would use nochex instead of paypal. Its UK based and easier to set up for customers who want to pay on line than paypal.
-
Top site, looks exellent, maybe u should do web design as a sideline :)

Does anyone on this site use Nonchex with their websites ??? Do customers tend to use it much ???
Steve
-
I've used it for ebay. Its a lot more simple to set up your account and for other people to send to you. Plus they dont take such a big cut as paypal for transfering money etc.
-
Thanks Rob
I am going to add a way for customers to pay online through my site but have never used Nonchex.
Steve
-
I've heard these are good as well.

Not tried them myself.
Nochex site ...
http://www.nochex.com/

Nice site by the way :)
-
Nice site by the way :)
Thanks Rob!
Thanks for the links i think i will give Nonchex a go and see how i get on and if customers use it.
Steve
-

;)

GOOD WELL DONE ON YOU MATE
-
Have any of the customers used Paypal yet ???
Steve
-
HI steve, so far i have had 4 people use Nochex and 2 with paypal, all over £40 though, Its a bit like a cheque it take a couple of day clear in to you bank, but it well worth it , these customers live out in stick's and it must of saved me £10 on fuel allready,
By the way many thanks (GEORGE the window cleaner assistant) his email support is great. i do think that every window cleaner will have his software on a pamtop very soon.
-
Hi Mike
I think i will put Nochex on my site and see how it goes.
Steve
-
Hi Mike
How does the Nochex system work ??? When a customer has paid into your Nochex account is it straight forward to get your money ???
Steve
-
Just have to set up your bank details with nochex, takes a few minutes then u can withdraw strait to your bank account ;D
-
Thanks Sham
Is their minimum amounts that can be transfered ???
Steve
-
I think the most people can pay in is £90, think u can take as much out as u want though.
-
Thanks for that. ;) I will try and set it up this afternoon and see how it goes ;)
-
The amount that can be withdrawn from a users NOCHEX account to their bank account has been limited to £500 in any 24 hours and £1000 in any 7 day period.
More than enough for most window cleaners i reckon ;)
-
By the way many thanks (GEORGE the window cleaner assistant) his email support is great. i do think that every window cleaner will have his software on a pamtop very soon.
Hi Mike
I agree with you. After using George with a palm for some time now i would not want to be without it ;) Do you use it with a palm ???
Steve
-
Hi steve , yeah i do use it on the pam , had a few probs at first , but its great , should have done it years ago , only thing i dont like about it is you cant add new jobs on the pam.
oh yeah i just got www.winwash.co.uk i thought it would be alot shorter name than www.allseasonswindowcleaning.co.uk what do think?
-
Hi Mike
Good idea. I originally had www.lowescleaningservices.co.uk which i thoght was to long so when www.lowescleaning.com came up i went for that. I think if its shorter its more likely to be remembered. ;)
Steve

Hi Mike
How did you get your e mail address inserted already when you click on nochex on your site ???
Steve
-
hi steve, insert your picture from the nochex site or make your own like i did then make it a hyperlink, i typed,
http://www.nochex.com/payme.asap?email=michael@allseasonswindowcleaning.co.uk
so when you click image it will send you to your nochex account hope this helps
mike.
-
Hi Mike
I got to the same page on the nochex site and put my e mail address in the box and then just hyperlinked it to that page but the e mail address is missing ???
Steve
-
am going out will be back on l8r and will help you then.
-
Thanks Mike ;)
Steve

steve look under the
payment links
right at the bottom it says If you wish to create a payment link with the details pre-filled in then REQUEST a payment from yourself with all the details filled in as required. You will then be emailed a payment link with this information contained.
there you go, job done, i allways add under the box, all banks details are handled by NOCHEX, we do not see any bank details, just recieve the moneyand please include youe name and address in the details form, so we know how the money is from
people are still wary about using the net to pay for things, so if you explain you only recieve the money and not see any details, they are a little happier
-
Thanks m8 you saved me typing all that :D
-
Thanks Matt ;)
Steve

no probs
i didnt want to step on any1's toes, but i am bored here so thought i would reply ;)
