Just to let you guys know that Mark has put together another website for us. once again it is exactly what we wanted and at an incredibly cheap price. Top of the google ranking for most of our keywords within a couple of weeks. I would advise any cleaners who do not have a website or those who want to promote another side of their business to take advantage and get a site designed as soon as possible. The prices are bound to go up soon.

Hope the spelling on your sites is better than his advert!

Robert, the sites are all cms sites so if there are any smelling mistakes it is very easy to correct them. If you can use Microsoft word then you can alter the content on these sites as often as you like.
It is very simple, I am sure you would be able to do it yourself with a bit of practice!

he did mine and I'm very happy, you can moan about his spelling (or just moan about him in general)but his website always seem to get on the first page on google.

I'm seeing him next week to do me a pressure washing website, for £199 you can't go wrong

Right this is the way i see it from looking at the work that dp do it looks acceptable but the most important thing about a website is it needs to be found. I made the mistake of when i started paying a fortune for a website but then had to pay some to seo it for me i now get good first page rankings. fair enough there has been some bad press about spelling mistakes on the websites but if you check through it before it goes live this should not be a prob. you need first page natural listings in your area and he seems to be able to achieve that and at 199 money well spent goin to get hime to do me a new site after jan

Doesn't inspire confidence when he can't even get his own site right.

John, does it really matter what is on his site providing he gets yours right. You dont pay him to design his own site, you are getting too picky, wake up and smell the coffee, this is what is called excellent value for money. If you would rather pay somebody £1000 to design a website because theirs looks very pretty then feel free.

Nobody's MOANING about anything....................

Just mentioning the spelling errors ( which are pretty obvious ) and not likely to inspire confidence. Sure the sites look good and appear to be excellent value and if they live up to the page one claims, must be a good investment.

I just ordered a third website, the second one that Goran Knight has done. Goran posts on here as a carpet cleaner.
Another one that is good value for money, and you can have full control in terms of changing the wording yourself.

Why pay someone when you can do it yourself.
Mine costs me about £8 a month, they give you thousands of templates to choose from,
you write it all and post pictures yourself, it's so simple it's unbelievable.
You enter your keywords yourself and they submit it to Google for you.
You can update it as much as you want.
They did give you the first month free but you can cancel at any time anyway so even if
that offer has gone your not going to loose much by trying it.
In fact you can design it all and see what you think for free just don't submit it save it.

Done my bruv one and saved it till he comes back from holiday to see if he likes it.

Not getting picky just don't see the point in paying someone £200 to build a site for me
when I can do it myself. Especially someone with a site like that.
Wake up, smell the coffee, you can even buy me one from the cafe for the money you save.

£8 per month - is that payable every month you have the site.????
If so, then £8 x 12 = £96 per year, two years £192.
If that is the case your argument doesnt stand up in my books.

In 2 years your going to be paying again to update them aren't you?
Or can that be done by yourself?
If the £200 is a one off never pay again fee then it isn't bad.
Or do you then have to pay for SEO?

Hi
Mark from carpet cleaning websites
Re The spelling - Its the cleaners resposibility to supply the wording for sites in either word or body of emails
we cut and paste the text from the files supplied at £199.00 we cant spell check this is the cleaners resposibility
any way the sites are full cms so you can easily edit any text or photos yourself.

Re SEO
Yes this is included in the price and has our  carpet cleaning links network builds - this will see the carpet cleaning sites we build
maintain an even stronger position within google

Dont know of any website for carpet cleaners we have built that is not on front page of google


The hosting fee for site in second and preceeding years is £3.99 per month thats all you pay

What kind of response/ enquiries, that lead to jobs, do you get from a good  high ranking website.And is it a good form of advertising

Its a low cost form of advertising, and as long as you are high on the first page of google (and the likes) you should get responses.
You will see that some cleaners have a few websites, they do work but you may also receive more price shoppers.

That's fine if your the only one he does in each area.
How do you go on for ranking if he does 2 or 3 from same area.
Within a 5 mile radius of me there are about 10.

Thats not a bad price must say and have also had a new site done for manchester and dont think its even on the 3rd page ::)

So for 199 and on first page of google its good value if it gets high on google :)
