Jeff,

Go to this site's home page.  Look for Memberlist and click on that.

You'll get a list of every member.  On that list look for the Website column and click on members with a website icon by their name.

As Wavie says, that'll be a fiver.

jeff,

take a look at ours http://www.freshwatersystems.co.uk
it's simple so it loads quick, I take most of the pics and then use photosohp to edit them down in size & quality, and I use dreamweaver to edit the pages.

Always ask for permission to use other peoples pics, as they will have copyright on them

WOW! Guy's keep 'em' coming keep 'em' coming, some great sites.

The cheapest and best web-site builder I have found todate is JOUK45's  Son (wee Joe) he has built quite a lot of site's for the guy's on here and some very impesive one's to.

I took Tosh's advice and went to the members list to scour your web-sites, I was very supprised how many links never worked, and how few window cleaner only webs there are.

I must admit I have only done the first eight pages. but will scoure the rest of them, if you do have a web-site then can I suggest you make sure your link works to your site, or you could be loosing money.

Can I make a suggestion here guys.

Get your self along to your local Adult education/Learning school. Enrol in a basic web design course and build your own. 

I joined in April, it was FREE.  One of the other candidates even gave me a copy of Dreamweaver to instal.

If you do that you can alter, ammend and update your web pages as much as you like.

If you want it all singing and dancing then do the second course too.

Just a suggestion guys.

£100 a page...that's scary. :P.as Sarah said, its not rocket science, nowadays you have no real need for html knowledge, unless you want a super all singing site,

If you can use a word document, then you can build a site, for a round £30-40 a year(and that's more or less as many pages as you want!!) if you have the general idea and layout, you could build a site within 1 hour. ;D

Hi Propole

Yes i built it myself, just need to know photoshop and a basic html application, i use dreamweaver, can't use flash or anything but then again not fussed as i like simple plain websites with not to much moving on them

£100 a page is a ripp off unless you need some complicated functions, if you need a slick little setup with only a few pages don't pay more than £150 - £200 tops!

i built mysite in about 6 hours, it ain't the best there is out there but is alright for free ennit? ;D

where I know Photoshop thats the biggest advantage, create it all there first then chopit up and bang it dreamweaver. i'm a real novice at dreamweaver but get by. you can't create images in dreamweaver just put it all together in that.
