i personally dont think i website would make much difference to my business.
i can see if your a mainly commercial window cleaning company that it would look like your more professional with a website but for a sole trader( mainly domestic window cleaner) i dont see the point really esp if your well established!
i dont think online is the way forward at all not for window cleaning anyway!we need more face to face contact with customers not less IMO!
cash on the day/collecting/sae/online banking can be done without a website!
if you ve got good business cards/leaflets/flyers and are uniformed/signed van/good wfp/trad equipment and conduct yourself with integrity/honesty and do a good reliable job at a fair price then thats all you need!
christ!there are guys out there that are still driving old battered cars using old scrim,10 ladders on the roof rack who are making a lot of money!(a lot more than me !).who dont care about uniforms/sign written vans/wfp etc who would laugh if they ever came on here!some of these have been going over 20 years with 900+ customers!
the custies care even less!in fact i would say as long as theyve got clean windows on a regular basis and the window cleaner is not a rip off merchant they will stay with them for years and years!
in fact if you look too pro you will put potential custies off!!IMO!
maybe its different here up north but for the majority of customers( esp middle age)customers which make up a fair size of my round there just not interested in websites/online payment for window cleaning!
i think there is actually a rebellion AGAINST the internet with the recent people who been caught hacking into peoples passwords etc for online banking etc.they simply dont trust it!
