To run a website its quite easy if you know what your doing. web name and hosting about £30-90 to have one built anything between £150 and £1000.....i designed my own have a look www.keepcleanleyland.co.uk. saved my self about £300 to have it done. Im trained as a web designer anyway.

I have a website and a domain name with 1and1.co.uk, cost's about £18 per year. they have lots of templates which you can change & adapt to suit your own needs,also, you can play about with them first and see how they work.
My advice is to look at other w/c websites & pick up ideas to build your own
and how you want it to look. You can also change it everyday at no extra cost
I'ts worth a look.
hope this helps.

If you go to WINDOWS LIVE you can build your own website for £20.
This is what I did and last 2 years.You can arrange/change/update
your website at any time and is great for keeping costs down.
At the end of the 2 years you just re-subscribe.Hope this helps

ALL of my new work comes from referalls!!!! the best type of work you can get. Do a good job and you dont need to keep replacing lost customers via new web site work because they never leave you!!
I am talking domestics here.
Commercial will use websites more!!
Why pay for a website when you dont need too IMO

IMO referrals are even more proven to work! WEB sites more professional? Only if you deliver on what your site says you will deliver!!
Where do YOU want to be?
7500 per month between a 2 man van per month payed cash
or 7500 per month between a 2 man van waiting 28 days to be paid (if they dont go bust)?
I know where i want to be!

Mines done for free through office live www.sajwindowcleaners.co.uk had it since 2007 and it brings in more than enough work.

But as jay said you now have to pay for it and I have to start paying in April but its only £10.99 + vat for 2 year so well worth it to me  ;D
