I ended up building my own after webdesigner friend decided he couldn't be bothered with any changes to the original.

do you have a waiting list .. if so how much lead time are you talking ? ... i will be needing a websire in new year

for those prices mentioned can I change content at will ?

Cheers

At the moment I don't have a waiting list really,.. I've a couple of small projects on the go, but could easily handle a couple more.

If you want any content changing you're free to do so yourself at any time - however I don't use any content management systems like joomla or wordpress, so you'll have to have a basic knowledge of a web editing program like "Net Objects" or "Dreamweaver" - easy enough when you get the hang of it. Or you can just ask me to do it (Or any other web designer),.. I don't charge for small changes & if you want to make big changes I try to be reasonable with pricing.

Hi Nat.. is that with SEO .... keywording ... backlinks etc...??

Basic key wording & SEO yes - if you've got lots of local competition with good websites you might need to use an SEO specialist, but this isn't often needed.

I'm avoiding backlinks since Google started penalizing sites that use lots of low quality ones - Concentrating on good quality unique content is IMO the best SEO you can possibly get & the most future proof too.

[Nathanael Jones]

Still to build me one 

Drop me an e-mail Gav & I'll get you sorted ASAP.

What hosting are you using? Your site is being displayed in a frame, which means that very little of the info on each page is visible to Google,.. and there's no point having a great looking website if no one can find it! Switching hosting may fix this (I assume you're using web forwarding at the moment) and give you better google ranking.

Hi Nathanael,

Thanks for the info... I use 1and1 Internet for hosting at the moment...

I have heard that Wordpress can be a pain when it comes to SEO etc...

I threw it together quite quickly and haven't spent any more time on it... But I need to.

Its not really the SEO that is the issue (Yet),.. just the complete lack of anything to SEO!

If you view the webpage source you'll see what Google see's - normally its a couple of hundred lines of code, but on your site only about 15 lines are visible, all the wordpress code is hidden in an iframe pointing to your .com domain.

Your .com will be seen by Google - your .co.uk will be near invisible with that kind of web forwarding.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but http://www.seerssupportservices.co.uk/ takes SO LONG to load!?

[Seers]

Hi Tom,

Just tested it and it comes back at between 0.86 - 1.24 seconds.

Maybe your connection is slow? And had three cherry picker hires booked from it today so somebody is finding it!

Cheers,

Huw

[Nathanael Jones]

Yep - fairly fast loading for me too & my internet is dismally slow.

Sorry to hijack the thread

Bit naive when it comes to websites - apart from the initial set up costs, are there any ongoing monthly/yearly fees?

Just the domain name cost (Less than £10 a year normally) and hosting (£2.95 +vat a month from letshost.co.uk),... thats it.
