I guess it's worth it for those who are looking for a quick and professional deal. I've created a few sites, but they are all dummy sites, basically to allow me to learn how to create them.

Is there much money in the IT repair business? I'm starting university soon to study computing and in the future, I am going to be looking at starting my own business.

Started last night and done a couple of hours today, they are all different pages I used the same template for each, I will change the heading on each page, and add some colour and content the weekend if I have time, it's scratch built with DW, and I'm a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, never done anything like this before.
Thought it might be worth a go lol.
I knocked some leaflets up on publisher the other day and just need to drop them...
Also had some cheap business cards printed at Vista Print...
A friend of a friend is currently designing a company logo for me...

get 5000 flyers from ebay. printed on a press.A5 for around 60 quid'ish double sided again money well spent.

i get 1-3% hit locally after a leaflet drop. But i am not interested in the hit. I want to get my name known. So will leaflet drop same areas more than once. Many people dump the leaflet many keep.

There are cheaper than vista if you buy larger quantities.

Op
Try to get a nice business card. One that does not look the norm. full color is a good start. One that when you hand over, The client says to themselves mmmm nice card....

People tend to chunk cards and leaflets....

I love my little 13'' MBP. My poor Acer desktop (that kills the Macbook in speed) doesn't get half as much use as it should do...
