Bollox to the lot of ya.
I'm keeping my bloody quite frankly fantastic ideas to myself from now on.
Including the one where I spend the next 3 yrs creating a rival search engine to aTW's rival search engine to another rival search engine.

I watched that, and I've been the using hungry house website for a while which is actually very good. But the buffoons seem to completely fail to mention the comments and ratings that user's leave for a restaurant, which is the whole selling point of the site!

Think of companies like yours and mine, we sell consultancy services. Even if we sold it in chunks of 2 hours, it still isn't suitable for selling by shopping cart. There are 1000s of companies that sell such services to other companies.
And even in the consumer space, the analogy would be a one man band cleaning service. If I ran such a service I wouldn't want to allow people to make bookings themselves, because I would want to optimise my travelling. A web site couldn't do this.
Then there are companies that sell stuff that requirs a complicated processes. How are you going to bundle that up into a web site?
Many of these companies would benefit from a web site, but they have no need for a dynamic booking service. They are not going to be interested in anything other than a one off feee and perhaps a ten quid a month hosting charge. And there are plenty of people offering this service at the moment.

Good idea, but no small business would pay £500 if it has a service which cannot be bought through a e-commerce website...Like the services I provide.
More like £10 a month for a presence...still, £10,000 is better than £0. Perhaps £100 for a couple of initial simple web pages. Additional for getting listed on Google and Yahoo. But no where near £500.
Plan B thwarted.

That's why they (think they) don't need a web presence.

£500 per month for each customer for basic service giving them a hosted content management system/shop front/shopping cart, some SEO work and a bit of training.
