    EPOS System - Recommendations?

    Hi Matthew, Is there a reason why you're: Is it to do with being able to remotely access your system? If so, as Cirrus says, most multi-site arrangements can be accessed over the internet and back-ups can be set to run automatically. Good advice there. I'd use it as a check list for every...

    UK Equivalent to CES? (Consumer Electronic Trade shows)

    What about The Gadget Show Live? gadgetshowlive.net/ I know it's open to the public but I'm sure you'd be able to talk to the suppliers as well? Also, not sure if this is what you're looking for but the NEC has the "National Electronics Week" listed on their website thenec.co.uk/...

    Website's, how much and who?

    Hi Ash2012, The recommendation for .org over .com is in relation to WordPress not his own domain name. The TLD's for WordPress are used to differentiate the two versions. .com is for hosted WordPress by Automattic (the guys who make WordPress) .org is for the Self-hosted WordPress Hope that...

    You Tube videos

    Thanks for clearing that up Newcott, I thought the idea of videos on YouTube becoming Public Domain was a little bizarre unless the copyright holder specifically granted that permission.

    What to do Next!..

    Fully back this approach. Guest blogging is one of the best ways to build traffic and links (at the moment). John Marrow provides some good tips for Guest Blogging on his website (just add .com to guestblogging for his website).

    Website's, how much and who?

    Agreed Tim, you can't beat WordPress :) I quite like the look of the Happy Kids theme on the link you posted. Though ThemeForest is quickly becoming the bane of my WordPress development. I love it and hate it at the same time. Or rather I hate some of the "frameworks" the developers decide to use.

    Website's, how much and who?

    I'd recommend a WordPress website with Woocommerce installed. That way you can manage the website yourself and add new products as and when you need to. You'd be looking at £400 bare minimum I recon but it would be a very pretty and functional website.

    Looking for a simple mailing list Wordpress Plugin

    I also find that Contact Form 7 is another great plugin. If you're interested in building an email list then I'd recommend signing up to MailChimp for the free account (only down side is you can't build AutoResponder campaigns on the free account) and then install MailChimp for WordPress Lite...

    Retail stores to introduce wifi for customers..

    Thanks for the links Scalloway. It's interesting to see that John Lewis are one of the companies who will be offering free WiFi as they've been really successful with click to store collections. I guess this is one of their ways to merge the online/offline experience even further. Though...

    Outsourcing Company vs Business Partner. Advice needed

    Hi Aram, I think if you're going into business with someone then you need to be able to trust them and know you can rely on them. Also you'll want to set everything out in a contract such as expectations, profit share etc. If it's sales you're looking for then why not try and hire a commission...
