Depends how fancy you want it.

There might be local companies that could do it for you - but remember to make sure that the name is registered to you and not via the company doing your site.

Alternatively you could make your own site using a CMS program eg. CMS Made Simple, Concrete, Plone or others - google them.

e-mail me on [email protected] and we can cover more over there as commercial activities are not technically allowed. I have worked on design and wordsmithing of http://www.cornishcakeboards.co.uk/ working with a web company who can set up and run the site........

thanks.
i really need a professional website made, not some one who works from home. this has to work based on a good website to get as much hits as possible. i allready have a domain name.

thanks

I'm not sure whether to take this as an insult. Many developers work with their web companies from home - mine has offices in Truro and Newquay and serves a diverse clientele base.

and we didn't sit on our fat arses when it came to loading over 6000 product lines in......

to clarify, a lot of that had to be done on site, esp the stock take.

sorry i dont want to insult anyone, i know nothing about websites hence this question . just doing homework on this at minute and its just business idea .

[beezaneez]

does it really matter if i have a .com / a .org / .biz domain ?

Beezaneez, do not go into business without a proficient business partner. You are doomed to fail alone.

>>>does it really matter if i have a .com / a .org / .biz domain ?

.org was always intended to be used by non-commercial groups, such as charities. However unlike (say) .gov or .ac.uk there aren't any actual restrictions as to who can use it. Even so, it still looks 'wrong' to many people when used on a commercial website, so I'd advise against it.

While there's nothing wrong with .biz either, it seems to be used almost entirely by very small firms (such as local florists or tradesmen). It doesn't really announce 'Hey, you're dealing with the big boys now", so I'd also advise against using it if you're planning on trading nationally or internationally.

.co.uk is used by many large businesses that trade solely in the UK (or for the UK operations of international firms). So, for example, Argos, W H Smith and the UK operations of e Bay, Toys R Us and Barclays Bank all use .co.uk. So if you only intend to trade within the UK (or mainly within it) .co.uk is absolutely fine.

.com is used by businesses based in the USA (e.g. eBay.com) , businesses that trade internationally and also by many UK businesses, both large and small. (e.g. Tesco.com).

.co.uk is a little cheaper to acquire than .com but, within a business plan as a whole, the difference is really negligible. It's simply a matter of choice. Indeed, many companies register both domain names in case their customers forget which one they use. (e.g. if you put Tesco.co.uk into your browser's address bar it automatically diverts to Tesco.com because Tesco has registered both domain names).

thanks,
eccles why do you say i need a business partner ? as i have said i am playing with ideas at minute, please people do not jump to conclusions .

[DTCwordfan]

well count me out if that is your attitude to help around here...........and given what the site is coining in, unbelievable - the success is not in the site, beez, it's how to target your purchasing audience. The secrets of that I am not prepared to share at this point - and especially with the attitude demonstrated.

[beezaneez]

my attitude ? look at my replies ....i have not insulted you or anyone else.

[DTCwordfan]

Reported.

eeeeks biting fingernails LOL

[EcclesCake]

Sorry Beez but many of your posts reveal a lack of good judgement and I think it would be wise for you to work with someone who can bring some business acumen to your venture.....and hopefully profit.
