My New Website is Up and Running!

At long last, my new business website has gone live! Go visit it at www.jeremylockyer.co.uk at let me know what you think of it. It has a number of additional features including an all-new portfolio page, an expanded FAQs section as well as a direct link to my blog. It also has a completely new and much more powerful content management system, called Joomla, that can be adapted and grow as and when I need it. I’ve also signed up for Google Adsense so that I can display ads on my site and get paid for them (I hope!).

It seems to have taken ages to get this far. It was back in January that I started looking for a web designer. The first one I found was very cheap but he lived on the other side of the country; he also wanted me to complete a very long and complicated questionnaire and his content management system couldn’t be used on anything other than Internet Explorer and a PC (I’ve got an iMac and I use Firefox)! So I found someone else who lived locally, who used open-source software, who quoted a very reasonable price and whom I could pop round and see for a cup of tea and a chat about what I wanted. And, he was already a friend of mine and a fellow member of The Business League. Sam Fisher and his assistant James Quick have done an excellent job! A classic example of why it pays to ’shop locally’!
