my web site has been up and running for few months now. I have only had two calls but both found me because of key words that have been inserted seen or unseen.
one could lead to a 20k contract so i am encouraged.
I actually made the web site so i could point clients to it when quoting for new work so they could see what i do.
This has definitely got me a number of jobs which i might not have won if prospective clients could not see my previous work.
So i think the visual shots of work definitely help which is why i have so many images .
I can also see that by naming particular stones this will bring me in leads in time.
signed on for google analytics and it is an amazing site giving so much info about who and what people are looking at on my site.
I am yet to get my first job from someone who has found me on internet but I am optimistic.

That is a nice site ! ive had my site now since before xmas and slowly worked my was up the rankings for my keywords , how many visits a day are you getting ? i get a phone call every other day from people who have found me on google , a website in my eyes is the best way to go about getting work nowadays, ive turned down really really big jobs that have contacted me through my website.

WORD PRESS IS AMAZING!! Been messing around with it for a few months now and it just gets better and better.Once the basics are understood you can do anything you want with your website.Its free,there are plugins for anything you could ever want on your site.Contact forms,sliders,galleries,SEO plugins,google site map plugins,just to name a few of thousands!!...sooo much better than these Wix (DIY) type jobs.

Hi Lee.
Loved looking at your website. I am a glutton for style and both the work you display and the website design looks very stylish. But there is nothing there that tells potential customers where you are and what area you cover. That ultimately makes the website a brochure and not a marketing tool. Is that what you intended?

Qwerty

At long last, our website is completed! Had it up & running for ages, but it was always quite clunky and was a flash based website (could not be played on apple products). This is now sorted and is hosted through 1&1 (wordpress based).

Any suggestions or thoughts are very welcome (I did it myself so I wont give up the day job just yet!)

Cheers dave. A difficult one really as I have deliberately gone to great lengths to get the site suitable to view on PC's, android & iPhones. The site changes slightly in each different type of device. On my laptop & iPad it is balanced up, yet on the iPhone it is as you say.

Keeping the comments on (for now anyway) as I pay my wife a wage to do something, oh and I quite enjoy reading the emails from young Philippine refugees who want me to wire them £175 to help their sick kitten! Seriously though, I find its worth it to allow customers to leave testimonials. It won't take many more spam emails to make me turn that function off though!
