Evening,

I'm thinking of getting a web site designed. Can anybody recommend a design service?
 
Does it actually produce any work as I've had two different websites with people who promise the earth but deliver nothing once the money has changed hands ?

I am a sceptic as well.Once we start talking a few hundred notes per year any enthusiasm rapidly disappears.I believe it can work well if you are in a narrow market e.g.small town with less competition or some specific service e.g.specialist boiler repairs,emergency plumber.I do know it works for some forum members and I accept one big job can pay for it.Recently there was a young lass, from the Manchester area I think, who was going to spend a lot of money on a web site which would produce lots of work.I would like to hear how she went on.I hope she was successful as it was a big gamble.
 
I use the webs service

It's not "professional" as such but I get my fair share of work out of it, I have pushed it to page one (organic) on google for the search terms "plumber Derby"

I can play with it, add content as I want without cost, the online chat is superb (I have premium service) and I only pay about £60/year including hosting, get 5 emails and a dedicated email service

Quite good value for money if you ask me

At that sort of price it is very cost effective.One small job pays for it.It is this pushing it on to first page that is the key.Most of us don't have a clue how to do it and without that position you are stuffed.I think a lot of people are wary after being phone spammed and web spammed that this is possible.Large sums of cash are involved.When I could be bothered I asked 'Are you ringing the hundreds of plumbers in Bradford? In which case it will be a bloody big first page!!!!
 
It's not the cost as such as getting someone to give you an HONEST assessment of what you are getting and what it's likely to do. Too many promise the earth but don't deliver. If I gave somebody a price for Central heating which didn't work I wouldn't expect somebody to just shell out more money until I got it right which appears to be the way with the people I have dealt with. I told them what I am expecting to get from the website , then asked them to tell me what they need to do and then asked /been given the cost.
