Hi guys

I'm thinking about getting a basic website on the go just to try and bring in a few jobs and make myself look a bit more professional.

I don't want anything too fancy just yet, I can always make improvements and changes when im in a position to.

I would include contact details, a couple of photos. a list of services provided. The usual stuff.

Can anyone recommend a company to use or can I create it myself?

What sort of prices would I be looking at? Hopefully someone with something similar to what I have described could advise.

Thanks
 
There is a forum sponsor who does them.
Think hes called TWD.
If you do a search you may find a post re his offerings.
 
Really...

I do remember the thread but thought it was all ok.
Shame
 
Well..., the dude really could do much better job…
He did ask us a question. We call a spade a spade. What do you do!?

i just had one designed from start to finish and i can add things when i choose, its still in the making but ive had lots of leads from it price was £300 plus extras take a look TH Plumbers Bridlington
if you like i can give you info inbox me
 
lol these pictures are stock photos, there not of me or my work ive only been in business few months my own work is coming soon :)
 
I used the website builder function on 123-reg.co.uk. £28.78 inc vat per month for Domain, Email and website
 
Having a website is one thing, making it easy to find is another. The latter will cost you far more than the creation of it.
 
Thanks for all the info guys, got a few options to look in to.

I am in the very early stages of doing my own jobs but getting a website, even basic might help.
 
I used Yola.com
First year free, then about £25/year after that for the domain and the hosting.
You get £50 free adwords credit too if you use the right link.
They have a page builder where you choose the template and add photos and text. Dead easy, did mine in a few hours.
Not the classiest website in the world but it has gotten me plenty of custom over the years and it's a web presence which is pretty much vital these days.
I do my own SEO, if I spend an hour a month on it I stay very near the top of page 1 of Google, not touched it for months though so my rank is slipping...

What do you mean if you spend an hour a month on it? Doing what?

Thanks for the info, prices seem reasonable, just looking to get my name out there and as you said a web presence is a must nowadays.

Well of course I 'could' just tell you what to do....
How much does SEO cost again????
Hmmm...

I wasn't asking you to tell me 'what to do'. I don't know what SEO is. I don't know anything about having a website which is the point of the thread.
 
You can get a simple 1 page set up, simple design, hosted for a year with an email link for under £50.

It won't get you business (probably) but you can put in on your van/cards etc.

It's a start.
 
It's not just building a website, it's the SEO behind it.

My brother builds them, quite cheap too, manages them for a low fee per month and manages the SEO. I can pass you the details if you like?
 
I have yet to understand how if SEOs are so good when you go to search for them they dont all appear at the top of the first page on google? Best thing to get right for free is your key words, ie lfracombe plumber,Devon/devon heating , gas engineer devon etc etc. then the searches will bring you up to locals looking for trades etc. All done for free, and will gradually build your presence if you get some google writeups etc
 
Ash get a Google business listing put up its free of charge and you will get work from it.
