I've always used netweaver.co.uk - because it's cheap (20 quid for the smallest package, 10mb) and you get PHP/mysql plus rather good control over your account. This is pretty much all you need for a small companies website.

It would be nice if the people who did the post-deletion could post an explanation so we don't repeat mistakes

that's not cheap..

I pay about £30 - get full php/mysql/unlimited pop/unlimited domains hosted and subdomains.. over 400mb space and 12.5gb transfer!! Oh and an included .com/.net/.org domain.. now that is cheap!!

The advice about photography is very true - getting someone to take good quality photographs can make a big difference - for stock images try stock.xchange - try googling for it - it's a free stock images site. I've been meaning to put some of my own stock images up there as I've used it quite a bit, it would be nice to give something back.

Can anyone recommend someone who can do the whole lot? Ecommerce website design with hosting, email address, shopping cart, support - everything - someone good, trustworthy, not too expensive and professional?

Looking over the site the biggest problem is that you use frames, therefore search engines don't see all of your site. Just try:

site:https://www.qainspections.co.uk

through google and you can see they only have one page.

No pages in search engines = no traffic.

IMHO the current site is never going to get decent organic traffic. Get a decent HTML sitemap and maybe it will.

Thanks for the comments, i have employed the services of a designer to fully re-design a new website and host it. It is in the first throws of being designed so I will post the new site for all your comments when it is finished.

I am currently having my own ecommerce website designed. As i advised someone earlier today i would definitely recommend who i am using. It is a business that is dedicated to helping small businesses so the costs are really low. I have used him for business cards aswell and they are fantastic quality. I don't understand much about website etc but i have looked at sample ones produced by this business and they are really good. I have spoke to him on the phone and he is willing to work with you to ensure you get the design that you want. I will PM you the details. Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.

Not really supposed to openly advertise like that - esp at those prices :eek:

Yeah, I wasn't as blatant as that and had my posts removed

As for the prices, :eek:
