Website Features

General

We thought long and hard about which features to include with your details in your web page. Below is a list of the different features included and how each one helps you win that work!

Your 'My Business Homepage URL'

Your URL is the web address that visitors to your site need to type into their web browser in order to get to your site. You can set it in the 'Basics' section of your 'Edit My Website' page. If you would like your own domain name please see our 'Getting your own domain' page.

Dedicated web page

Your web page is displayed to the world as your own web site! It is searchable by Google and all the major search engines and it contains your contact details. All the benefits of a custom web site without any of the cost! It has its own URL that you can put on your stationary allowing people to directly access it from anywhere in the world. Perhaps more importantly though; you can use it as a destination for Google Ad's® We explain all about how to do that in the "How to Boost your sales" page.

Your Main Picture

From your Gallery page You can set a picture to be your main display picture. This is useful to the customer when they are trying to choose the right company as it adds the personal touch and helps them to decide who to choose. In every customer/company relationship there is an element of 'chemistry' at work forming part of the gut-feel that so often proves to be right!

Description

Taking time to write a good detailed description of your company in a friendly and open manner pays dividends when it comes to being chosen as right for the job!

Gallery

This is your chance to impress with pictures of your best work. A picture tells a thousand words and lets your customers actually see the high quality work that you have done.

The pictures you upload are displayed as thumbnails but expand to full size when the customer moves their mouse over them!
