theres alot of wannabee web designers on here who think there clever slaggin off marks sites. when your startin out in carpet cleaning you need someone who can get you a site up at the cheapest possible price, then if ya wanna throw a bit more money at it to get it to number one, thats up to you. most of marks sites (depending on competition) get first page within a month or so and 2 jobs later youve got your money back. mark provides a basic package at a low price for start up carpet cleaners. giving them a foot on the ladder when money is tight due to start up costs. once your up and running, theres plenty of web designers out there who will take a few grand off you and design you a better one with better seo, but to be honest, were just carpet cleaners and a £200 site is plenty for us. i'd love to see all these wannabees build a site with all the bollox they keep saying mark misses out on for £200, ( build it, redesign it cos someones not happy, change this, change that and seo it in 3 hours) shootin your mouth off is easy when you don't have to make a living out of it.
£200 gets you a half page in a glossy classified, or 2 to 3 months in the local paper, all with limited wording. or £200 get you a half decent website and a web address you can market to give people further info on your company.
if youve got time to build your own and you know what your doing then fine, do it yourself, but if your busy pushing your business, out leafletting, designing adds, and most importantly carpet cleaning and know f$%k all about web design and how to host them etc..., then get mark to do a site for you, it'll be the best £200 youve spent.
marks sites might not be everyones cup of tea, but there good for start ups and therefore good for ciu. give the guy a break FFS.
if he was charging £1000's then yeah, but he aint, £200 measly f%$kin quid gets you a half decent site and hosting for a year.
whats the fu$kin problem.
rant over.
