    Web design pricing structure research

    plus retention will be poor as soon as a client's mate tells him how easy it is to make a new page for free in wordpress

    Website Scraping - Where do i start?

    Sorry but I have to disagree with you on practically everything you just said. In terms of efficiency, if I just write the code for what I want done, rather than having a specialised framework bloating the code and doing things I didn't ask for, it will be more efficient and easier for me to...

    Website Scraping - Where do i start?

    Why? There is absolutely no limit to what can be achieved by writing the scraping framework as a WordPress plugin, with cURL fetching data from URLs and preg_match_all() parsing & interpreting the data. Depending how it's built, it can be an extremely reliable and user-friendly setup. I have...

    Web design pricing structure research

    it totally depends what kind of people you are networking with. are you friends with managers / directors of medium to large businesses? if so you can charge 20-50k a pop. if you're very friendly with small to medium size business owners, you can charge 1k-5k a time depending if it's a...

    Does this visitor funnel make sense?

    Late to the party but here's 2 cents Is the purpose of the site clear? I guess. It seems like a 'landing page' style site optimised for selling insurance to businesses and landlords. Is the call to action clear? I guess. Internally the quote buttons are very clear, if not too frequent (a bit...

    Organic Traffic

    nobody liked my post but i thought it was worthy of an oscar personally. there's probably not a better answer to that common question on the whole of the internet in terms accuracy, comprehensiveness and ingenuity. the post that revived the topic seemed to add no value, and the original post...

    The best course of action for acquiring a domain that is taken (but unused)?

    usually domain privacy services still provide contact email via a forwarding service so you can still email them and they might reply from their standard email address. but when they clock on to the fact you are serious about buying the domain they might hold it and charge a high price where as...

    WP Multisite or Full Hosting/Separate Domains

    not a fan of multisite myself, everything is different, wires get crossed, etc. if you're familiar enough with it and like it, no worries, but if you're not so familiar, you'll need to relearn a few things and might not be so happy about what's possible / not possible any more

    Domain name transferring

    yes it's always easier with internal transfers. obviously if one has the time to plan it from the beginning they should first go with the most trusted registrar possible as a priority because that's the root of everything (unless regulators like nominet or icann step in and steal the domain...

    Domain name transferring

    who are your domains registered with? who are they hosted with? and what email systems are you using? if you have the necessary technical acumen, i recommend using a different service provider for each of these, as it means you can migrate one thing at a time without the others falling over...

    Wordpress edit

    if it's a wordpress.com powered site you might be restricted, but if you have admin access to a wordpress.org (self hosted) site, anything is possible.

    Website Scraping - Where do i start?

    i may be able to help. i do a lot of scraping. you might first want to check if the data sources (car buying companies) have Feeds or APIs, and if they're not free are you happy to pay to use them. if any of the necessary data sources lack a feed or api, or if you're not keen on paying for such...

    Organic Traffic

    Yes, they do. But that's a very broad generalisation. It's important to consider the quality, relevance and longevity of those links, else your link-building campaign may seem ineffective, or may do you more harm than good, or may jump from seeming beneficial to seeming useless or detrimental...

    Lockdown : lives "saved" ? Long term we'll be in deficit.

    wilful ignorance again. let me help you out - look at the actual studies cited by the BMJ to see how biased they are, or look at critical analysis of them if you can't do that for yourself. by the way it's not hard to find the data corroborating the counter argument. ps what's wrong with the...
