Hello from East Anglia - 25-06-2008, 05:06 PM

My name is David and I wanted to say hello from East Anglia, you know that place to just north of London where we all drive tractors

I am busy rebuilding websites for BBC presenters Dominic Littlewood and Alan Dedicoat (voice of the balls).

Hi David and welcome

I hope you charged Dominic a good fee or are all your sites just over £100 ?

Well that's great value - your designs look quite fresh - I am guessing this isn't your full time job or are you trying to develop your portfolio ?

Peter

I guess you could say I'm building a portfolio.

The thing is, out of thousands of other web designers, how do you stand out?

I've gone for price, it's a start anyway

Cheap is not always good. Businesses expect to pay a fair price for a website so an offer of a bespoke site for £100 will not necessarily attract new custom.

I have a mate who was advised to put his prices up, it seems that people associate low price with low quality.


Effective Web Design - It's not that difficult if you follow the rules.

Hello and welcome from a fellow East Anglian.

There's not may of us up here who work on the internet as our data is delivered by the local postman on his bike which slows things down a bit.

In reality Norwich is a Hot Bed of internet marketing and design companies that have their client base in London and beyond. Something to do with the low rent of the mud huts we live and work in here plus the unbelievably low cost of slave labour.
