Setting up a new website for my business

[lyndonio]

Hi I need a website designing for my business, it is industrial cleaning i want it to look professional and fresh. It will have a home page, about us, services, prices etc maybe 8 pages. How much would this cost and is there anybody who can help me out? I also may need a photographer for a day in the northwest area if any1 could help with that also.
Thanks in advance

Hi there

I can offer you a quote for web design if interested and advise on images and graphics.

Have just recently completed a carpet cleaning site for a client http://www.procleancarpetcleaning.co.uk/ + another cleaning system client http://www.scotvac.co.uk/

PM or email me via my site (www.poppy-design.co.uk) if you want a quote.

Hi,

Take a look at www.mysitemanager.co.uk
We can design your site for you and you will have complete control over your website's content and mages without having to pay expensive web design fees or developer fees for a content management system. We have a sale on at the moment so our prices are very low!

Feel free to PM me or email me through the site with any questions.

thanks for your replies I have done more research and have come across some free design sites like Wordepress which I think I am going to explore. Any tips on the best way to go about this like good webhosting sights and how to get your domain name or something?

Re hosting websites you should be ok with most hosting sites, generally for simple websites any hosting will do maybe look at godaddy.com they do hosting and are pretty big and not too pricey, you can also use godaddy.com to buy your domain if you need any help setting it all up or if you have any questions drop me a pm.

I don't know what your technical / IT skills are - mine aren't great and frankly I found building a site to anything near a professional standard to be ridiculously time-consuming. At least I can now make amendments in HTML

I was luck in that a friend did it for me (he's been a programmer for 25 years) and it still took a week.

It is definitely a case where the term 'free' completely ignores the value of your time & blood pressure!

Absolutely, and that does not take into account the fact that you will look at your efforts with a less critical eye than your prospective clients. they may look at it and think that they would rather do business with a company that is stable enough to get a website professionally done. Stick to doing what you do well and get a pro who also knows something about SEO to do your website for you.

For the record (and not looking for your work) we would probably charge about £500 for this including consultancy, web design, graphics and SEO. I would say that we are average to low in our pricing so if you get it for that you'll be doing OK.
