Thats refreshingly different. You have put a shed load of work into it to help others. Well done, I think its great. Can I put the link onto other forums ?
-
That is great for people just starting up!! Fantastic work.
Haven't read a lot, but it definitely seems all right from a brief glance!
-
Very good!
Hey Mods, why not lock this into FAQ - Lots of info for newbies
-
yeah jeff brimble, feel free to put the link onto other forums

Hi,
Thats is a differant approach to having your own website.
Are you looking to generate work from it or is it just a tool for anybody to use.
Check out mine i had a small company build for me a couple of months ago.
www.accleaningservices.co.uk
All the best,
Rob.

hi rs_cleancare. i made the website just as a tool for anybody to use when they want to start up their own window cleaning business. just to give them some tips because when i started i didn't have a clue what i was doing.

Dave, ive been doing it for 10 years and still have,nt got a clue what i,m doing ;D

Dave,
Well done theres not many people who would do what you have done.
You have put a lot of time and thought in to your site and it will be a great help for alot of newbies plus some people who have been in the bussiness for a while.

Sorry about this, I'm a bit of a perfectionist but you use the word been instead of being quite alot
"been a window cleaner is a horrible job"
"...comes with been your own Boss"
"part of been a window cleaner"
"Since I have been a window cleaner"
"window cleaning is like been a daredevil"
and that's just from the home page and "The Drawbacks of Being a Window Cleaner" you got it right in the title, lol.
Don't take this the wrong way, it's just some constructive criticism from a perfectionist.

Nice work Dave,
Just 1 point for you:
you write on your website :Some window cleaners use a program called George that does it all for you. This is good if you are lazy, very disorganised or forgetful but I just keep it all written down inside a book.
May I point out that your comments are very incorrect, not in any way justified! I use George, I operate a large company, am VAT registered, have 3 vehicles on the go day in day out and have over 1800 customers, if you feel you can operate with your book and pencil then please come to my office for the day and show me how you do it! By the way, the Tax man will crucify you if your books are in pencil, its easy to rub out if you get my drift!!!!
Otherwise, you have what looks like a good website for newbie window cleaners.
-
okay trevor i will put that in about george and the rubbing out of pencil cheers
;D
-
well done dave
-
definately will be helpful to beginner wc's m8, nice 1 ;)

very good but not so sure about when you said you cant get £50 per hour at a guees i would say most work around £20to£25 per hour but thats not to say you cant earn £50 + per hour i my self done a job to day with an hourly rate of between £50 and £60 per hour that does not mean i work 8 hours a day earning £480 every day two hours at £60 for me some days i may only work 3or4 hours
-
i know some guys on here earn really large amounts of money and that's great but i don't think that is the case for most window cleaners, particularly ones just starting up. i mean i wished i earned the type of money you are talking about. i'm just trying to keep peoples expectations realistic but if they can earn 50 quid an hour or more then that's brilliant.
marc do you earn that kind of money on domestic or commercial contracts just out of interest.
-
davetherave, thanks for that, I think I've just read the whole site, lots of great info for a newbie getting ready to start out, much appreciated.
rs_cleancare, I looked at your site & I'm interested in the image your using here (http://www.accleaningservices.co.uk/images/windowpic.jpg)
I'm starting work on my window cleaning website & I seen that image used on a few window cleaning websites & I was just wondering if it's copyrighted or anything? I'd love to use it on my own site if it was fair game.
-
I’ve read through the whole site today and it is a very good site Dave.
Just wish there was something like that 7 years ago when i started.
