    How to get more members on local community site

    As some people above have said, i would recommend using facebook/twitter to promote your site. I know in my town, there are a few facebook pages for selling junk and it would be well worth posting your site in these, i'm sure every town has a similar thing right? get your friends to like it so...

    Paypal not connecting https / ssl error

    just checked from my end and on downrightnow for a status report and everything is up and working. Try clearing your cache (in chrome press Ctrl+Shift+Delete, make sure you untick passwords etc as you don't want to lose them) it probably won't be this but it definitely worth a try! but seen as...

    Clothing Business . Selling Used Clothes

    Why not sell the clothes online? thinking the whole factory concept might not be as usable as you first think! Theres a new-ish site called bradley street i think, they basically get second hand branded clothes, sort through them, and post them on there website and they've even opened a few...

    Logos/Branding

    Some companies charge way more than its worth, because they can! I've done some logo work in the past but mainly focus on web design now and I would charge around £100, but i've done it much cheaper and even free for some clients who have bought another service of mine, it keeps them happy!

    Portable Credit Card Terminal

    Hi ECS. I've just advised someone else on here to check out iZettle. I don't have first hand experience using this company, but what they offer seems pretty reasonable. You basically buy the card reader (about £60), which connects to your smartphone/tablet and you then use a interface on the...

    £30,000 - £40,000 Website?

    I wouldnt jump straight in and pay £30000-40000. You probably dont need to spend half as much as that to gain what you require. Apart from that i very much like the idea, we all need to work at pumping more businesses into our economy, especially for younger people like myself, there's hardly...
