Hello to all, long time no posting !
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Haven't posted since January, main reason being I submersed my brain into learning website design ( and the dreaded SEO )
This plus the fact I couldn't sign in to the forum the last few times I tried ! ;D )
Anyway after several courses and much head banging I finally got my head round it.
I've launched 2 sites so far, let me know what you think.
www.carpetcleanersheffield.com (http://www.carpetcleanersheffield.com) Page one on google now.
and
www.nottinghamcarpetcleaner.com (http://www.nottinghamcarpetcleaner.com) Just creeped on to page one !
This is without any links on either site as yet.
I'm still learning but I'm quite pleased with the sites and I'm almost ready to launch 2 more.
I'm also building sites for a beauty salon and another for a hairdresser ( don't ask ) so I might hang my wand up ( kidding, not just yet !! )
I'm not going to say I'm available to hire as that would be blatent advertising and I just don't beleive that's right, So just to clarify I'm not
saying that. ;D
Ok so what's the gossip, what have I missed ????

if they are you 1st attempts at websites then you have a talent for web design, they look real good, I prefer the Sheffield site.
nice to see realistic prices instead of the £20 a room mob
-
Paul they look awesome good work I am in the middle of a very in depth course. Good stuff mate

Really nice sites mate. You have been busy! How much would you charge to do one like the first?
-
Very impressive.
-
seen the first site before paul, have you just tidied it up, both sites look good though. well done mate.
-
Very impressive work, never would have guessed it was your first full attempt. Well done ;D
-
Self taught and producing to that quality ;)
Loved the comparrison bit between 'professional' and 'splash & dash.' ;D

A leaflet of similar design would be fantastic.... ;)
-
can i just say
the gold service makes it sound like if they choose the silver service you will be leaving sticky residues. thats how i read it anyhoo.
-
re your prices.
For a Gold clean of lounge/diner, single
bedroom and double bedroom and stairs.
Would that be £250?
Or would it be cheaper by having all done.
Do the prices reflect having just the one
room done?

Prefer the Sheffield site by the way.

they look sweet Paul, well done

-
I also prefer the Sheffield site oh a mate got a similar machine up to 40 times don’t think so :o ;) ;)
-
That shefield site look the business paul too :)
-
Looks good, you apply scothguard to leather?
-
looks great...reads great..well done..
Where / what package did you use?..
I too have built my own little website ... free ...from scratch...via office live...and launched it on google..it did my head in knowing nothing about web sites seo..etc... so any tips welcome..as i'm new to the industry and just starting out ( about 6 weeks now)
www.k2kleaning.co.uk
Thanks Paul
-
why the k2 theme? you are building a brand around this,...... do you think this is a appropriate and memorable theme?
why use K2kleaning?, people will spell it wrong in search engines and put the correct spelling of cleaning.
its Ok to be clever with names but will it help your company more than a more traditionally themed name?
-
PS; I speak from experience.
I once had a cleaning company called White Buffalo Cleaning.... until I introduced my self to an office manager and he said to me "we don't have any white Buffalo's that need cleaning" :-\ :-\
-
thanks for the response...
yeah building a brand / company theme...with more than carpet cleaning etc.. on offer in time
K2 is the second largest mountain in the world...we all know the largest....and the brand that exist around that..
I like K2 as i think the theme of peak service , peak clean , peak finish etc etc.... goes well together..and there is a load of other spin off snap lines etc..themes i can vary around the mountain theme
I aint trying to be clever with names etc...just thinking of the long term aim of the brand image etc..
\with regrards to spelling cleaning with a K... i see numerous others spelling it with K ... and a variation like Kleen...etc... I take on board the spelling and search thing
-
thing is we can all go town if we so wish and critique name choices / web layouts etc etc... couldn't we?
take it my website is ok seeing as my choice of name is the only respnded too!
having not been professional designed and hosted at extortionate costs...in fact it cost me nothing....if i was paying i'd want it to be better than some i've seen....who've paid loads..
didn't ask to comment on my choice of name thanks......maybe PH cleaning would to the trick? or is that another white elephant...buffalo sorry!
-
grow up a bit :-\ :-\
if you get a but touchy just because i've said something you don't like then you need a bit tougher skin, I was trying to be helpful not critical
-
:D wondered when the bite would come....
I'm big enough ,, old enough..and thick skinned enough.blah blah...you didn't answer the question i posted ....if i'd posted business name any feedback i'd understand....my post was relating to a free office live website i built n hosted free....this will hopefully help others seeking to construct a website on a limited budget in a similar position to myself.....brand name etc... is a different topic.....and i did post i took your comments on board re name etc...
k2 kleaning "For a peak finish"
-
Here Paul, you should name your business after that famous mountain range in Newcastle!
killamanjaro = Killamanforhisgiro ;D Why aye man!
-
kinder egg: is this what you've used? http://www.serif.com/webplus/
how much did you do yourself hand made etc? if you've used that website program it's hardly self taught web building as it looks like from the code of both sites something has done all the work for you whilst you've chosen what colour from a drop down list, what size etc.
sorry if i've got it wrong but i'm looking at the code this looks like a wysiwyg style site which isn't really web building.
-
Dawg......love it ;D
gcs...no mate i didnt use a package and yes it probably is a template style build.........i've checked your link that package is 80 odd quid.........mine was nowt through office live i also get free email etc.... i'm saying that with my nil computer skills there is stuff out there for those like me....limited start up budget and limited computer use knowledge..
-
my site is £80 quid? checked the correct site? i wasn't asking you either but instead to the op as he's asked for what we think ;) if you want my views i personally like the name k2k. never been too keen on numbers in names but i like yours
-
why use K2kleaning?, people will spell it wrong in search engines and put the correct spelling of cleaning
My thoughts too but there is already a K" cleaning (with a "C") in the States.
Paul,
K2 is a lot better than some I've seen. Best of luck.
-
garry . thanks mate i'm aware of the K2 c in the states ... hence with a K for me....but i fully take on board the spelling issue...
gcs ... no way am i saying your site is £80....if it was where can i buy it from ?.....its very good and impressive....maybe i mis read but my repsonse was to the link you sent for a design package software...which i think the price was £80....hope that clears up the confusion....thanks guys for the feedback
-
ah sorry k2k i misread your's thought you said my site was £80 template not my link. sorry for confusion.

killamanjaro = Killamanforhisgiro ;D Why aye man!
;D, I'm nicking that one, never heard that before.
