hi
anyone done their own website?

if so how did you find it easy, difficult, not worth it?

spoke to a custy yesterday and he said there is free software to do this with on net!

I'm not in great need of a website, but thought it would be good addittion

i.e  if on a flyer it's away of someone looking at you without contacting you
some people just seem shy with calling strangers ::)

also looks good on van and easy to remember than a mobile no at quick glance etc

oh yeh anyone done yel.com?

thanks all lee

Hi Matt

Thanks for that info. Your website looks good. Quick question....You have the 'payment on-line' option. Does this cost you anything? and also, Why do you have a link for 'How to clean like a pro'? Surely you are encouraging custis to do their own and it encourages people to set up a business and compete against you......

Cheers Mate

Payments via Paypal are I think 3.9% of the transaction plus 20p. Its worth it with some custys but not others, Im selective in who I give the option to (who I tell that you can pay on line)

So for a 10 squid house that would be 98p in total but for a 50 squider £2.15

I see what you mean, the guys a shiner himself, Im sure custys wouldnt bother trawling that far through the site to be honest, but it was intended simply as a link exchange.

My opinion is that the guy is offering tips for shiners starting up, of course that could be used by members of the public, but so could this site.
