Thanks chaps cost £600 smackeroonies incl 1 yr free hosting. The guys who have put it together are digibug.co.uk. Top guys. Please if u do use them mention my name. Also please try and be original with your design & layout. Took alot of effort to put it together, so would like to keep the uniqueness.

Paul the machine was just stock image.

Gavin,

Great website mate, do you really think it will help get you more sites? If so what's your marketing strategy to gain more sites using the website

Cheers

Basically its my shopfront. All my existing machines will have stickers pointing towards the website as people who like the machines may view the site. Also will be using up some shoe leather promoting the site. Emails will be much more effective having the site.

That's a bargain for £600. How much of the ideas and layout were yours?
They seem very creative.

My website cost £700 and mines not a patch on that!

Gavin , no worries mate, even though I am envious of your website I wouldn't dream of copying it and encroaching on all your hard work. And neither should anyone else I'd imagine. Good luck with it and happy selling.

Vend and Glow (sorry should know your name) - much of the basic wording was mine, although I took on a brilliant copywriter to improve the content, hone the SEO, etc. I gave the web designers a design brief which they took on board. All the machine images I sourced myself. We had to work on the basic design as it was a little too corporate initially. The layout on each page was their own, although we discussed the best way forward initially. Once the final design came through it way exceeded my expectations.
