    3 page website needed - ASAP

    £50.00 is a fantastic deal. You're not likely to better it - friend or not. At £50.00 your friend is pretty much doing it for free if he's including domain / hosting etc. If anyone does offer you it any cheaper I'd be worried about what you'd be getting!!

    Funding organisations for business startups

    Getting funding today is not easy. Business Link is the right place to get in touch with for local / regional variations. I would have to say the feedback I get on the support that business link offer is not mixed - it's pretty much all negative. You will therefore need to keep on a them...

    Marketing Plan

    My First Call Centre : How to set up a simple call centre

    Got to agree with Caroline. There is so much more to this than technology. I've worked on setting up contact centres in both the UK and India. There is fierce competition - some incredibly cheap rates to be had. You will not differentiate yourself on the tech side. You need to do it on the...

    Yell advertising

    I have not worked with a single client who has got anything out of advertising on Yell.com. Some have paid upwards of £500.00 to get nothing. I would seriously recommend against it. I am not sure where they get the number of searches each month from - however I had one client who was told...

    Wannabe Entrepreneurs Ought To Get Real _ The Opportunities Are Out There

    The work ethic is an issue - but there are still people who believe in overnight riches via the internet because they see ads on E-Bay (or similar) offering £72k per annum of ra £9.99 website investment. I do some volunteer business mentoring and some of the ideas are almost comical. Some...

    Anyone else had post problems for 11/12th January?
