Get Nathanael to build you one Mick he built mine plus he does hosting as well  www.mmwindowcleaning.co.uk  he is a top guy and does a great job .

Colin a well built website is defo worth the extra spend i used a website builder for over a year and got 2-3 jobs form it ,

I then got Nat to build me a site and the work just keeps coming including 2 really big jobs which i have quoted for so the right website defo brings the work speak to Nathanael Jones  avondhu-internet.com he does all the SEO so will place well on google . Mike
hi mike thanks for that will be in touch with him
regards colin



The other guys mentioned are MUCH cheaper than me (I charge £375 and upwards for a site) - - I do believe that I offer similar value for money,.. but if your budget is tight I reckon you can't beat studio-arts. ;)

With respect to other guys you only get what you pay for the extra spend is defo worth it site design layout and overall appearance is far better if you spend a bit more .

Mine has paid for itself 10 times over and more . Mike

Mick,

You should get a website for your canvassing business?

Mick,

Andy
Got something sort of in place but to be honest i dont want to have too many people to canvass for at any particular time.. I hate being stressed with not enough time to gef everything done so a website wont do me many favours just yet. Besides i need to gain a good rep and good feedback before i lash out any dollar advertising.

Just to say - we are currently working with Nathanael Jones at present, he is brilliant to work with, if you are thinking of having a website designed, I would really recommend getting in touch with him.
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

Colin, I have a few sites and all have been very, very profitable. I was the first window cleaner in Shropshire to have a window cleaning website about 10 years ago. My business grew from 8K per annul to 36K in 3 years. It was all down to the website. There was NO competition, it was great. Times have changed though.

That said, websites ARE the way forward. My solar business has grown exponentially since I had my solar site built by www.discoverysquare.co.uk .  The site is being overhauled by the same company and the new look site will grow my business further for sure.

There are a lot of sharks out there. I know my man is good, I know Nat is good from what everyone on here says. Personally, I would steer clear of Vistaprint. They copied and pasted my whole window cleaning website for someone in my town. I got the whole site taken off the web and it has never re-appeared. They should know better than to copy and paste. Go with recommendations, not companies who ring you up.

Spending £500 on a website is a very worthwhile investment, better than any pole you can buy. The ROI is amazing if the site is built properly. :)

i have looked at a few of the sites he has done and was well impressed ,thought they were great value for money,I know some of the other guys have paid a lot more money for there sites and fair play to them if they think they've got value for money,maybe I'm a bit thick but I have to say I can't really see a lot of difference to Luke's sites and a £500.00 site but that's just my opinion. Will be a while before the site is up and running as have to sort information and photos to go on the site. Thanks again regards colin
