    What have been your best website builders to get up and running quickly whilst being efficient enough to scale long term?

    No idea, but I've put it on about 20 different sites over the last few years and its worked pretty well. I think I still have it on a few now.

    What have been your best website builders to get up and running quickly whilst being efficient enough to scale long term?

    I have used WordPress almost exclusively over recent years. Tried a few different CMS option. I quite like "Oxygen" and detest Divi and Elementor. I've used Astra themes and also one called "Popcorn" but tbh I've more or less stopped doing websites now.

    How to give away jewellery e-commerce site for free?

    You could maybe try and contact a competitor who would probably take the stock if the discounted price made it worthwhile. £13k is quite a bit for someone just starting out but they might take it 1k at a time.

    Web Hosting Recommendation

    I currently use Krystal hosting and have a plan for a max of 50 websites that is £35 per month. I think for just one its about £7 also. (You always pay more for just one) If you are happy with Wix I'd stay there, but if you were looking to start a site now and looking for recommendations I...

    how to rank my amazon affiliate website better??

    If it's a brand new domain not an aged one you took over 2 months ago, then expecting it to rank that fast is a bit optimistic. Depending on the niche and what KW's you're targeting will lengthen/shorten the time it takes. Assuming it's just doing product reviews then a lot of really big...

    Royal Mail users - what are you doing in December 2022?

    Sigh. This is starting to take its toll on my business now. It's just getting worse and worse. I seem to get more emails from customers asking where their order is, than I get orders at the minute! Today I replied to a guy who's order was posted on the 6th Dec and he still hasn't even got that...

    Google Ads - can I outsource this to a professional ?

    Choosing the right company/person is a real minefield. Many years ago I "self taught" myself to use AdWords. I was terrible at first but when it's your money you're burning, you learn fast. That's always my issue with agencies. It's never their money they're setting on fire. Most ad...

    Phone landline number to your mobile

    I don't have a landline anymore but for my business that's fine. (I don't have a phone number on the website for customers to use) I think though that psychologically a mobile only firm would look less professional, certainly to the older generation. I'd give them both options. In the past...

    Anyone with experience with starting on fiverr?

    I helped a friends daughter get started on Fiverr as a content writer as I'd used fiverr and her myself as a buyer. This is what we did; A great image on the advert (gig), a friendly/approachable sounding bio, that showcased her skills etc. We worked for ages getting the wording of the gig...

    Royal Mail Click and Drop - orders that require manual intervention and results file

    We post maybe 2 or 3 letters abroad and we no longer do them via the Click & Drop as I find it too much hassle. I don't like doing a separate sack for one standard letter. At my post office they don't make us do CN22 for letters/large letters only small packets. I know we pay a bit more but I...

    McDonalds franchises

    I'm 62 but a guy I was at school with has two or three I believe. When I last spoke to him (about 20 years ago) he admitted he didn't have a penny to his name when he was offered his first one. He went to his bank and they literally said "great how much do you need?" on the basis that at that...

    Contact Form Problem.

    Help needed! I need to be able to identify the page they are on when they complete the form. My website that has a contact form on lots of pages. When people fill it in they say things like "how long would this take to deliver etc" and the answer is different depending on what it is. I have...

    Two businesses one website?

    Domain age and Authority is important for ranking purposes. To start a new site is tedious to build all that up.(again) So I can't see the point in starting a new website then simply pointing visitors to the old one. I'd just add new sections/categories and brand it for the higher level broad...

    Newbie Alert.

    I've been "working from home" since 2004. My business is hard to define in a brief post but I've basically been making a living online for a long time now. (I started my first website in 2003) I've been lurking on here for a couple of years and figured it was about time I came out of the...
