do you know any where i can get a web site built cheaply and which specify in building cleaning web sites

[Graeme@Access]

Hi,

I know a guy who will put together a very nice site for you and offers excellent value for money.  That is more important than price... and he offers support/SEO/updates for about £250

Its worth the investment in a good site as it pays off very quickly.

www.capitalcarpetcare.co.uk is his site
www.transwebdesighn.co.uk is his web design company.

He has built sites for a number of the forum members and i know he is busy building another atm.  If your thinking of investing in a site then give him a call, he carries my personal recommendation.

Hope this helps

Hi Guys,

As many of you know my sites rank very highly on search engines  , search essex carpet cleaning etc and as with most things in life , this has taken a long time to achieve.

I am now going to design sites and more importantly manage them so that their rankings reach a high level.

This will involve a one off building cost and an ongoing monthly hosting /managing cost.

If anyone is interested email doug@1st4carpetcleaning.com and I will send you details.

One I am currently doing is http://82.110.105.18/1st4cleaning.co.uk/index.html?1145195456859

Cheers

Doug

Nick,

It is relatively easy to produce a site which nobody except you knows where it is.

The clever bit is getting it found by the search engines so customers come to you.

Cheers

I'm no 1 in the yahoo search engine but on google on about page 12 how do i improve my google ranking?

[craigp]

googles annoying, when you do any search all you get is millions of 'near' and 'city search' , 'find carpet cleaners' etc. type rubbish,

and only about 2 real carpet cleaning websites when there must be loads,

and on futher back pages its the same websites repeated

i think its google cant do its job properly and find what you really searching for.

[Graeme@Access]

Hi,

Google has a serious conflic of interest going on as it displays the free hits on the left... and the paid listings on the right.

Its no wonder the free listings are rubbish.
Im sure yahoo will go down the same route.

Doug, you are 1st for Carpet cleaning essex with a page that has a rank of 0.  Our page rank is 4, but we come a long way down the list.

If anyone wants to add links to our site, that will help you come up the listings in google.

Steve, nothing to do with this subject but....... I tried to look at your web site and for some reason it doesnt fit on my computer screen, if that makes sense. I would guess I am missing about an inch or inch and a half of it width ways. Just thought you might want to know in case it happens to other people too. I add at this point I know very little about computers so it might be something I am doing or not doing. Best, Dave.

[Graeme@Access]

Dont be tempted to do what this guy has done to get his site up the listings

http://www.spotlesscleaningservices.com/

If you look at the foot of the page he has a load of hidden text.  This will get you sandboxed (eventually) but does bring you up the rankings.

Doug, i had a look at your site again and i relly do wonder what it is that google likes about your site.  Can u tell me where to send the brown envelope?

It depends on what size monitor you have I have viewed it on 19" tft & 15" standard monitor and yes the bottom where it says rug cleaning is missing on some.

this one is the same

http://www.fresherclean.co.uk/

[Liahona]

So it is the same. Oh well. By the way how come you have the same picture of a sofa on both sites??? Best, Dave.

[andy east sussex]

do you get many people looking on your web site is it worth it

[John Kelly]

On the Spotless site it states Scottish enquiries only.
Whats all that about.

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Andy,

I get on average one job a week but they are generally good quality and well paid.

Two sites I am currently working on

www.1st4fencing.co.uk
www.1st4cleaning.co.uk

Cheers

Come on John, the answer to that one's obvious. He's trying to attract a better class of customer

Hi Andy

(I'm trespassing from the cleaning forum )

I've just done my website with fasthosts.co.uk.  They help you do it from start to finish, i.e. register your domain name (mine cost £7.99 for two years), build your site (using customizable templates), divert emails to your email (i.e. enquiries@businessname.co.uk gets diverted to your personal email), publish your site and you can update whenever you like - all for £3.99 a month - bargain.

I'm probably putting myself in the line of fire here, but have a look at mine

www.cleener.co.uk

The wording and graphics are cr@p at the moment because I'm not actually up and running yet, just getting everything together.  Still needs work, but two weeks ago I didn't have a clue where to start so I'm quite proud of myself.

Let me know if you need any help - I'm a dab hand now.

Ali

p.s. I forgot to say you get £30 google voucher for ad words - whatever they are, haven't got that far yet.

[Graeme@Access]

Hi Ali,

Your site looks quite good for a newbie to web design.  I have seen a lot worse 

I taught myself how to use dreamweaver using video tutorials from lynda.com and built our site, but with the time spent on it i would probably have been best getting a professional to do it.
