The word press sites seem to be ok for people to create their own. Look pretty good too. You ever looked at that (never used it myself)

My site is a Word Press site >> http://www.iconicwindowcleaning.co.uk

It is pretty easy to setup... I need to add some more pictures to mine though.

Thats right, we clean, but no good at it 

I'm sure that's not true  .
I don't think you need both 'specialise' and 'offering' together like that. You wouldn't mention it if you weren't offering it. Go for 'specialise' or 'offer', depending on how much you want to push that side of it.

I preferred your old one but yeah looks clean and tidy.

I'm learning web design. Have been since January. It can get mind boggling

I remember you saying that before about my site 

My old one is still around, why not bookmark it then you can keep looking at it LOL >> http://www.southerncleaningservices.co.uk

How's it going with web design?    Are you doing an online course or something?

Do you think you will do web design long term?

It will be happening by the end of the year.

My first attempt was for my missus empire www.snackhub.co.uk it's not finished yet and I'm learning about PHP etc to put all the order forms in place. There are still restrictions in what I want to achieve but it's all part of learning.

I'm still gonna run the cleaning company but this will be my new baby come the end of the year.

I was learning at college but people were slowing things down so now I teach myself through online tutorials on a subscription site. I have spent about 5 solid weeks so far mon to fri 9 till 3 learning HTML and CSS.

Matt.

Another one: "maintain and complement your properties external appearance" - should be property's.

I HATE doing this!  It makes me feel very picky indeed.

I'm sure it will all go well for you mate 

I used to do a bit of web design and did toy with the idea of setting up a business doing it... Then I thought about subbing the actual work out to students etc... and just being a middle man adding a certain % on top... But I prefer being out and about.

How will you charge for a website?    The guy who is currently building me a new site for my other business charges a £50 setup fee and then £25 monthly which includes a certain level of SEO, his charges rise if you want more SEO etc.. doing - Seems like a good model to me as he has a monthly income from each client instead of just being paid for each site he designs, works well in the long run I think.

I don't know how I'm gonna price yet or what model I will create but what I do know how to do is get the appointments and have a few links into the design world as I was there formerly but in the print trade.

I'm thinking of linking in with a small team that can do the areas I can't as I want to still be the creative edge as opposed to programming.

But also I want to create a business as that is also a keen interest of mine. A small studio with a few programmers and designers would be nice

Nath, images need optimising, how d'you mean?

A lot of your images are quite big,.. the header is over 350k alone.

Its not a big deal for broadband users, but the growing number of ppl surfing on tablets & phones with a patch mobile signal may find it very slow to load. Most image software will allow you to optimise the file size without loosing too much quality.

Thanks fellas.
