    Business Plan for Online Store

    My advice for a new business like this would be to get something up and running website wise, along with a couple of social media channels ASAP. Every day of inaction is a day your website ranking on Google could have been improving and your DR (domain rating) growing. I think you can plan...

    Store on my wordpress site

    WooCommerce taking 6 seconds to load any pages on a fresh install is ridiculous - there must have been other factors at play there. We use it for all our bespoke e-commerce sites and find it to be a great platform. It's not without things that could be improved, don't get me wrong, but it's a...

    Store on my wordpress site

    Simple answer: use WooCommerce. It's easy to set up, customisable and able to power extremely simple online shops and complex ones too.

    Buying data: Good idea?

    Hi everyone, About 3 years ago I purchased some data from a company (I forget their name) and got absolutely nothing from it. You'd think that would answer my question wouldn't you? Well, back then we didn't have the same process in place for targeting these companies as we do now, so from...

    How old I have to be to run a business?

    I started a website and forum at around a similar age to 13/14 which grew into something which gave me a little bit of revenue, which I sold later in college. What it did teach me though was a skill which got me into the web design industry and to currently having a small web design studio of 5...

    SEO Backlinks

    It's all about developing a content marketing strategy. Unfortunately it's not so easy these days to just stuff a page full of keywords. Sure, page titles, key phrases, heading tags all play an important role, but these days it is more about creating high value content and being consistent...

    £500-£800 for e-commerce site to be designed?

    Fair points above ^^^ Lots of business owners just see the upfront cost (e.g. £800 or £3000), not what's being offered after everything is complete as well.

    mortgage cash deposit???

    Yeah this should be easy. You just print out your bank statement(s) to take to the mortgage advisor. They'll then calculate whether your deposit amount is going to work for the level of loan you require. Good luck!

    SSL - Changing website

    I believe it would also be useful to go into your Google Webmaster Tools account (or set one up if you dont' have one) as you can tell Google whether to use http:// or https:// as the default.

    Google Places Question

    Interesting one. I just tried this with our own Google My Business / Places page and it works for both "web design dorset" and "web design" (my location being in Dorset). I would try modifying the title of your Google My Business page to include the "House Clearance" key phrase as well as your...
