Although I don’t have a web site still (under construction) one of the best way I have found is look though yell.com under cc add them to you favourites and view them at your leisure, don’t forget to look at the North American sites.

Hope this helps

One I do like is Nigel_W who posts to this forum

With regard to all who have web sites i have some questions
1. Does it bring in NEW business?
2. How much new clients does it attract?
3. Is it just another way of informing customers of services?
4. How much did you spend on it?
5. What search engines are you on?
6. does it add value to you'r business?
7.Is it intergrated with your other marketing?

I would like some feed back on this one thanks

Shaun,
Off subject, but ref your comment - as Joe said -" then theres those that send for the piranha kit, copy it all, then send it back asking for a refund under the guarantee.

Can you do that?

will you get your money back?

seems a bit bad to me but if anyone does have a copy.......................!! Grin

Posted by Dave_Lee (Dave_Lee), 29 March 2004

No you cant do that, it is copy right after all. Joe was just generalising, that hes well aware it goes on. The actual kit is only a tiny part of the whole story, but Im not going to get into that.
Dave.

are you on the fast track dave? is it any good longterm i have recieved a letter from Alltech i may go to the one day seminar but any help will do.

I think if you are directionless in the sales department ( that does not mean you are behind the door, just not savvy with todays style of client) well it is a must.

Ask Fast track members if they have benefited considerably more than what they shelled out for!

you can have a flash website, they don´t bring in any work and the only people who look at them are other carpet cleaners.

if you want to give your ego a boost then have a flash website, if you want more work there are lots of things that will bring in a better return than the web.

I don´t like the Y/P but if you spent the money that a website cost there you´d get more responce.

I think you are right but with all the members that do have a site they will not think so!

We had one but thought it was a waste of money.

This is my reason1. too many hit from the usa
2 too many other carpet cleaners look at it
3.the only one that made out of it was the designer..

£1500 +vat

The web is only good if you have products to sell..

And thats a fact........or so they say....

Big up the hoops told you so over by easter....

I have had my website for 4 years and it cost £70 a quarter (AltoHiway). That has paid for all design and set up and now i have WebPro so that i can log onto site and make my own adjustments to text and pic etc. It has been a useful tool for link from Yell.com, ThomsonLocal.com, Upmystreet.com and Redhotchilli.co.uk. Many people look on the site without risk of phoning and being TALKED into survey/estimate/job. They can contact direct with queries and i have been told that i was used because of the impression given by the site.......they have a general idea of what you are about before you arrive at the house.

I have had a web site for a few years ( its under reconstruction as I have just left yell.com to go with another hosting company ) As I always ask my customers where they have got my number/details I do tend to know whether or not they have looked at my website.
I have tended to get work from it but mainly commercial,
i.e. pubs,clubs,restaurants,offices and shops etc.
But overall it has easily paid for itself and I would not want to be without it for long.

Hello all just got back from china still picking chickens feets and snails out of me teeth. Shocked

One and one internet do a fair package called website creator , I did mine on it took me about 2 hours start to finish robbed mostly american sites for subject matter (shameful i know)

I does most of the work for you. you can pick layouts etc. please dont pick the one with the plump german CC on it as thats the one i have.

I have had no work from it , but it does look nice to have one on the bottom of my flyer.

Around my area many youngish 25 - 35 year old homeowners so wouldn't be surprised if some do look at it.

As long as your site does not look complete panties , it cant hurt to have your name in as many places as possible.

Avoid coloured or italic text if diy we all know it looks poo but sometimes can't resist.
