    What is the quickest business bank account to set up?

    We bank with Starling Bank and our business account was opened in minutes. Their support services are very good too. Will never go back to a high street bank again.

    Review website - London painters and decorators

    Originally I was going to feature each project using a modified estate agent gallery so instead of No of bedrooms, we state the number of days, number of decorators, square metres, etc and instead of on market price, we put price brackets/range. I can see publishing this information it...

    Review website - London painters and decorators

We plan to have descriptive category title clickable rather than "view more" I did think of this in...

    I am currently looking into the call answering service - this time of the year is just a little quieter for us so I have more time to deal with marketing stuff. I am looking to get our own 0203 number and divert to a call answering service

    Review website - London painters and decorators

    Good point Trevor - I had actually thought about putting the projects on our home page, with a slideshow. As we build our portfolio we will move towards a more image based website. I have started tweaking the website based on feedback thus far. Thanks

    Agree with the logo. Social links are at the top, which is what I thought would be ideal place for it. I agree, I am looking to revamp the home page. Afraid of changing the theme without losing content - will have to look into this. I take your point - seobility advised to change it to...

    Anyone with experience with starting on fiverr?

    As an independent consultant outside my current business, I have used Fiverr, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, Upwork etc and I find them to be rather waste of time and money. The budgets they set are totally unrealistic. While I have had some lucrative clients from these websites, they are few and...

    Need opinion on business name

    I can see where you are coming from but value, (and motive) are subjective. I am only sharing with you my 25 years of being in business and having experienced such issues. You could pick another TLD but why would a business have similar domains with a different TLD? This is likely to drive your...
