I'm thinking about adding one to my business but not sure which one to employ to build it for me. I had one a few years ago with Vistaprint but although their charges still seem reasonable I'm undecided!
I've googled window cleaners in my area and the same company comes up every time at number one on page! I get that but his first line says Voted number 1 window cleaner! Who has voted though?

Talk to Nate - he did ours, and many others here - good price and lots of communication while building it.
Once you have a site you then need good seo, this will be a long campaign and be prepared to spend on things like google ads etc... Again Nate can point you in the right direction
Who voted them number one ? No one ( well maybe his mummy and wife ) - that's just sales blurb mate

felix Clarke is a top designer , hes just done three of ours and as done a few for other window cleaners , hes more of a top end guy so not cheap but very good if you want the top end work , just pulled in two big cherry picker jobs in London from one site hes done

Reasonable price aswel

How much does it cost for a website? Need to have an idea before committing.
-
the prices differ madly, i'm getting this for £200 , i looked at doing it myself but it was too complicated
That would still include all seo so you should hit high page 1 of search engines, not just mobile friendly my sites are all responsive and google verified mobile friendly. Some images if you dont have any, pages I'd estimate 1 homepage, 1 contact page, 1 payment page, 1 cookie and privacy page (legal requirement) and a blog for you to use if you want to and help push the seo.
Almost forgot, at 200 I'd include a years hosting on my own fast UK server which is renewable every January at £50 and only other thing you would need to sort yourself is a .co.uk domain name but thats less than a tenner
i 'm getting one so i can shift everyone to go cardless, i dont think i'll get many jobs from it but if i only get £20 of work then its paid for eh

web sites are like window cleaning so many prices, so many doing it, so many cow boys out there , you just have to go with the one you feel the happiest with in your price range

Nat is a good guy to get doing it.
Avondhu internet services look up

Mat recommended TSO Host for a diy setup, if your willing to spend the time. Only thing that bothers me is there analytics don't work.
-
Is having a fb page not enough? you can make it interesting by having regular posts and maybe videos as well as likes and shares.
-
I've been quoted £500 which includes video and unlimited pages but no seo!
-
No Facebook is not enough ( well if you only want scraggy domestic one off's ) Facebook will bring in work and sometimes really nice work but not compared to a website, on that subject, how come people on here are reccomending this and that yet none of them will put a link up to see these wonderful website ? - not much of a reccomendation at all really.

I've just started using TSO Host (more of a hobby really) and initially, they seem very good. I didn't know about the analytics but that doesn't really bother me.

Personally, unless you can do a really good video, I wouldn't be fussed about it.
Also unlimited pages, I think is a bit of a gimmick. You only need 3 or 4 pages (unless you offer loads of services). In fact i've only got one page and it does everything for me.
The Seo is the good bit (and that's probably where the money is) and they don't offer it for £500.
Sounds like they are offering stuff that you really don't need and not offering the bits you do.
Cut a long story short, like everyone says, have a look at Nat's website, I think all his charges are on there.

Anyone got a link to his website?

Tso host site builder package or something.
It's not brilliant but I can update and improve the site and in time I'll eventually get better rankings. Don't know how much it would cost for someone to build the same amount of pages?
I'll be updating my site soon so any sensible pointers are welcome.

I have been considering a website for about 18 months. Had prices ranging from £250 to £900.
Did some stone flag and decking cleaning for a chap and during conversation he told me he built websites.
Asked him much for a quote and he says "we start at £3000, would you like me to do one for you" :o :o I'll have a think says I.
-
The guy that's building mine builds websites for education departments etc. They start from £3,000 but he's doing one for me for £500 which is the most that I would have paid to be honest!
-
:) I've just had one done by avondhu internet services. Highly recommended by me. Extremely efficient and communicative to the project is completed. Very affordable and I have to say I think my site is definitely going to bring in work. It's only been up today and already picked up a job from it.
Thankyou Nat J.

I think you get what you pay for.
I don't think you can get a top notch website for under £3,000.
The question is, what do you want? Do you care enough about it to spend big? Or are other things, like a top-of-the-range van more important?
Lots of folk go on about Nat Jones, I've seen his websites and I consider them to be mediocre at best.

Door Knocking will always be your best investment not a website

I've only seen a couple of his sites which I thought looked good but at the end of the day the important thing is his customers are very happy with their investment.

i used tso host sitebuilder to do my carpet site its pretty good for £11.99pm
www.carpetcleaningwakefield.co.uk
if i could afford it i would pay someone to build one and run the blogging and social media side along with any updates as it does take a lot of admin to build and seo your site

Have a look at this, I got it done recently
I gave him minimal information just to get it up and running
Colin at extensive web design is a great guy and his prices are fantastic
