Wordpress is no good without Yoast ...make sure ALL the lights are green.
You also need jetpack too.

The best thing about wordpress is that there are some really good youtube videos showing you how to set up things like yoast.

Theres even an online booking system you can add to your site for free. All I pay is 3.59 per month inc vat.

Websites

The new Super Rhino site is ready to launch!

But we dare not switch it on as we are extremely busy - just setting on two new slaves to whip - see how they will last working 7 days and some nights - working all over the country - never seeing their loved ones etc :o

Can hardly see any spare days until January and we have just had a booking for a large ceiling clean for then!
2014 looks like it's going to be interesting!

Will make sure all lads have a hard hat handy - just in case!

Aylesbury - Reading and then Newport for me Today!

Try find out who the client is and then you can drop hints at client or even I spoken to Clients Directly by saying ' You might be intrested in our services ' *Gosh that sounds dogey*    40% is on huge mark up thou!

All of the big companies add 40% its standard practise nowadays.
If you think of going direct to the clients they wont give you any more business.
Not worth trying to go down that route.

I have to disagree. If i give a price ,it's accepted and I get payed promptly ...I really don't see a problem. Everybody is entitled to  wages as long  as I get mine.

problem is that don't care if they get the job, for this job I invested time as it's not a simple block clean. Everyone is entitled to wages ? Adding £2500 to a job for passing on a number in my book is taking the p###

We should all add 40% Margin and you might get more work as they think they get a better job than cheaper work :D

Did you earn enough from doing the job? Did you get paid (corrected xxx )?
