I would like to draw your attention to a website that will soon be opening for the benefit of the window cleaning community.
The site is for all window cleaners and at this initial stage I would like to invite all to have a preview of it.
If you currently have a Pure Water Window Cleaning System then we would like you to provide a review of it. To do this you will need to register and find the product and click ‘write review’.
There are only currently 10 manufacturers and 45 products in total.
The website address is as follows: www.purewaterwindowcleaning.co.uk (http://www.purewaterwindowcleaning.co.uk)
We thank you for your help with this. Please let me know what you think of the site.

Hi, nice site, see you have gone direct to most WFP manufactures for your stock what discounts did you manage to get? %

None of the systems are for sale. The site has been designed to provide information on all WFP systems and comprhensive FAQ will appear in the members section at a later date.

Nice idea. Any chance of telling a bit more about yourself please as you are asking for a certain amount of personal info? I've no problem with releasing certain details but, for instance, I've no wish for my phone number to be used for telesales etc or for my email address to be used except for email that I agree to in advance.
It's a nice looking site. Provide some reassurance and tell some more about yourself and I've no doubt that it will get lots of hits.

No problems,
My name is Elliot Mason I am a partner of a window cleaning company of the same name whose site is www.purewaterwindowcleaning.com (http://www.purewaterwindowcleaning.com). the information will not be used or passed on to any of the manufacturers. This is stared somewhere in the site policy I think. If however you decide to opt for newsletters you will recieve periodical information and notices from the manufacturers.

pure20 me thinks ;)

YES I thought that at first, but Brodex stuff on there and they dont get on.

The site is not really ready for the public just yet. I am trying to guage reactions to it by "leaking" the address to this forum.
Pure02 are the last product I added and therefore are in the "what new" section. This will obviously change as more are added.
I am asking the manufacturers for a small fee to cover the set up, hosting and maintenance of the site. It is the same for all manufacturers no matter how many products they have.
I have more ideas for the development of the site with areas on health and safety and more to come.

I am sure you would had to pay to get permission to us manufactures photos royalties?
Andy
-
Not trying to knock it .But will you actually physically compare the products ?????????????????
The no 1 think should be 100% unbiased
-
I am not comparing anything, users will get a chance to see all the products in one place, read what the manufacturer has to say about them and read what users have to say. The site itself lends no bias - it just provides the means for users to make an informed decission.
-
In other words a shop window ???
-
Yes if you like, shop window. Commonly known as a portal or consumer magazine, providing valuable information to the consumer.
Have you ever seen kelkoo.co.uk - I hope for it to work in a similar way. But as the systems cost so much more you just can't click "buy now" as you can on kelkoo you will have to go direct to the manufacturer to purchase anything.

This does sound good Idea and wise you all the luck, so you are independent of manufactures, just you did not anwser my last question.
Andy
-
I do have a system of my own but am not a manufacturer. Thanks for all your input. I think I need to cut down the registration information as I don't really need to know where you live and how old you are just a valid email address.
-
looks a good idea :)
let hope you are independent and dont take "discounts" and cheaper deals for plugging certain manufactures
It'll be nice to see a truely independent WFP site
-
Sorry mate with due respect you should have in politics’ with your replies as you have not given me a straight answers, just come clean, we are not born yesterday the photos on the site you had to get from the manufactures or would have been sued.
Liked a said come clean and due respect will be given, as honest goes a long way.
Andy

Sorry poleman I really don't understand what you are insinuating?
-

you will recieve periodical information and notices from OUR suppliers.
So you have done a deal then, like i have said all along come clean.
Andy

I have sent an email to all of the 10 manufacturers that I have used. I have asked them to provide me with up-to-date information for the site. I have recieved responses from some but not all.
That was one week ago. I am giving you a preview this evening but may be taking the site down later on.
This site is still in its BETA stage. Feedback from manufacterers and users is very important. I have explained this in some detail in the "site policy" section.
As to "coming clean" I have stated in one of my earlier post I am asking the manufacturers for a small fee to cover the set up, hosting and maintenance of the site. It is the same for all manufacturers no matter how many products they have.

Regarding

I have had to program and fill all the content of this site myself. If some of the content seems misleading and you think I am buying up water systems that can cost up to 10k and selling them on an internet site then fine - but the site itself is telling you that is not what it is for and that would not make sense.
-
??????????????????????????
cant access the site ??? ???

Hi Andy.
Personally, I think it would be reasonable to see where Elliot goes with this before questioning his motives. Sometimes people do things just for the crack.
-
Have to disagree, if its not Independent then we needed to know and he has asked for are views and that is what we are doing ;)
-
In its early stages but not bad at all. Will look forward to seeing the new site. The word 'disclaimer' is spelt wrong on the Homepage.
Every bit of feedback helps.

Sure thing. I've no problem with what you have written. I just felt that Poleman seemed to be accusing the guy of being devious before he had seen what the guy had to offer. OK, so he may eventually turn out to be devious but what I'm suggesting is to lay off the accusations/insinuations until there is fair justification for them.
-
Okay thanks for all your help - you too Poleman, you helped to iron out a few issues and helped people to appreciate where I stand.
I have taken into consideration the suggestions, there is no longer a "what’s new" box on the front page as the latest products will always benefit from that and if things are a bit slow then they would remain there. I didn't like that box much anyway.
I have taken of the Gender and Date of Birth from the registration form as I won't be sending you all birthday cards and I can't think of any other reason I might need it. It is also a risk these days with ID fraud etc. Gender was only there so the site could address you as Mr or Ms when it emailed you and we can live without that!
Disclaimer was spelt incorrectly but I would be supprised if it were the only typo - thanks for pointing that out Jason.
Also I have taken all of my reviews off of the site - my main reason for releasing the address was to get some real reviews from window cleaners using the system. I can hardly write one about the system I use without getting called biased.
If anyone who has registered would like to review a product that would be interesting.
Many thanks
Elliot
