Hi All,

You guessed it; I am another web designer trying to make it big in the wide World.

I am an ex-web designer for Admiral Insurance and I was responsible for the front end design and SEO of their website. This includes their other brand web sites Bell Direct, Diamond, Elephant and confused.

I still work for Admiral as an analyst full time and my web design business is a part time operation until it generates enough income to give up my full time job.

My web site can be found at www.welshpixels.com.

My aim for the business is just to generate a decent income for me whilst working from home. I have no aims to become a multi-millionaire (although it would be nice).

When I am not using my web design skills for my own business I use them to help out charities such as Africa Now and Hope and Aid Direct.

Cheers

Carl

Hi Carl - welcome to the forum.

It's refreshing to see prices on a web site - I like that a lot. Just one thing - your 10 page design says 20 pages.

Hi Easy

Thanks for spotting that I will sort that out later today, I am going to have to find myself a new proofreader.

Putting the prices on is a bit of an experiment. I noticed no one else was doing it and I also know that most people shop by price. Hopefully visitors will see the prices, think they are reasonable and will stop shopping around.

The negative side is will it stop people calling, as they already know the prices?

A lot of the site is experimental as I am approaching the business side of things on a "if it takes off it takes off" basis. This is going to allow me to experiment with a lot of things like this and SEO work. I will be sharing most of the results here at a later time.

Hi Paul

I am based just outside of Pontyclun.
