Do you have a website to sell your contracting services?

[CheeseSlice]

Hi,

Just wondering how many CUKers have websites to advertise their services, and whether they have had any success with them ?

I'm considering doing this as an addition my CVs on job boards and Linkedin, but since I'll probably be hiring someone to design the site I want to see if they really work before I commit any funds.

Thanks,
CS

Just buy a domain and get it hosted so you have a more prof looking email than cheesy002@hotmail then put together simple (free) joomla site.

It does allow you more flexibility than a couple of pages of CV.

No real effort involved tbh.

I was thinking of getting a website built but have not got round to it yet. Dont know what the cost would be to get it done?

As others have said, getting a real domain name to which you can associate an email address on your CV is a reasonable idea I think. Much better than [email protected] in my view.

Doesn't cost a lot, and if you use an outfit like freeparking you get the domain hosted without charge so that email can be received for the domain.

No. Can't see the point.

Never had any great trouble getting work.

You can create a website. Don't spend too much [money & time] effort on it - as you will not get any visitor

1. Yes.
2. No.

A waste of time in my own experience, I just get lots of requests for free advice from folk who do not want to pay. HTH.

What's the worst that can happen; you get some work through it?

No. You spend so much time farting around trying to create that perfect web site that you miss the golden opportunity you were hoping for.
