I have just created a website for a flat we are renting out. I used sites.google.com that is free to create the site, and then used 1and1.co.uk to host the domain name, .e.g http://www.bewickcourt.co.uk/ total cost per year is under £5.
The hardest part was working out how to turn off menus/side bars etc. on sites.google.com as it assumes you wish to create a multi-page site. Writing the text and creating the photos did take the most time, but the content always take longer than the easy IT bit. (But I am a computer programmer…)

Because i only advertise via the website, no sign written vans, no local papers, even stopped leafletting. The other 10% is either recommended or have just started trying mybuilder like dngroundworks (i seen you on there too dan) but when that generates work its given to me direct so its not calculated in my 90%ringi wrote:local patios and driveways wrote:90% of our work comes from the websites
How do you know that? When someone recommends a company to me, or I see a company sign/van on site I am likely to look at the website and then contact them by email. However can you claim it was the website that did it?

I think more then 10% may be recommended that then finds your website.
Are you paying for lots of AdWords etc to drive people to your site?

I do my own seo, i get my links out where i can, i dont crosslink with any other sites, my natural listings are very good purely on the sites merits alone.ringi wrote:I think more then 10% may be recommended that then finds your website.
