    Job Specific Websites

    Agreed about the coffee workers:) You're quite right nothing jumps out when I search for commercial cleaning vacancies. Mostly I think it's contract work, companies submit their tender, commercial cleaning companies bid for the contracts. But there's nothing there advertising "just cleaning...

    Job Specific Websites

    There are vacancy sites set up for electricians, plumbers, what other roles do you mean? if you've found a job sector that hasn't got dedicated websites advertising jobs then count me in! All parts are crucial, we all rely on hundreds of others just to get through the day. If my heating breaks...

    Client Intrusion in Website Design

    Try showing them the websites of their competition. Part of your remit is to educate and guide them, as a designer you should be able to justify all your decisions. Got a duff logo to work with - say you like the idea very much but unfortunately it's not quite right for the website, offer to...

    help needed

    What kind of help and advice do you give over the phone? I've sorted out a couple of businesses with FAQ/hints/tips/instructions sections on their websites to reduce calls. It cut their "help me" calls by roughly 30% as mostly the queries where all along similar lines so could be answered...

    How should I start my website

    I agree with the other posts here, it will be a long hard journey to compete with play or amazon. Find a niche (or a few niches) and exploit them to the fullest. I made a website a few years ago for a guy who sold just "call of duty" stuff. Games, merchandise, his site was also full of tips...

    Web design options

    Have a look at prestashop, all the functionality is there, and if you choose a close enough template to what you want then there's a lot that can be done with customising it using html, css and possibly a little php if needed.

    do you need to generate/publish your website??

    I've had some clients with pretty large product catalogues but i'm not sure what your "generate/publish" step is about. Most e-commerce solutions ""generate" pages on the fly as they are requested by visitors. Do you know what e-commerce solution your developer is using for you? We set up...
