Is it possible to sue Spanglefish under the Trades Description Act? Their Ariel views don’t have a single photo of Ariel, the spirit in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. All they had was a set of aerial views of places taken from overhead.

Nick at Webcraft did a fantastic job of our old website, consistently giving us a top page ranking. The new smart phone compatible site looks excellent and was completed ahead of schedule. Thanks Nick.

I have been so let down by Business Gateway. It seems so many others have too.
We need to know where all this funding is going as it is certainly not going to where it should. So many ‘mentors’ …..doing what? Someone please give me just one genuine success story about the help BG are giving! … And it’d not just BG ….Enterprize Zone … And so many others letting small business down …..

All those let down by BG need to get together and make someone accountable for this terrible apathy…

Understood – I’ll speak to Calico to ensure they pass any such requests onto us, as we’d need to set this up on the server rather than Calico at the domain registration level.

cheers

Garve,

The fact that you are prepared to put a 301 up is good, but that’s not what your hosts Calico told me when I spoke to them about this in February.

Thanks for the response.

If anyone who’s been with us would like a 301 put in place, we’re happy to do so – just ask.

Page titles and meta tags can be edited by free site users as well as paid ones – we’ve been surprised by how seriously some users do take SEO, but of course lots don’t.

There’s no doubt that there are some horrible looking sites on our system. The adverts are hideous, but then we do want users to pay to remove them, so that’s no bad thing from our point of view. A business really ought not to have a free site on our system, but some are micro-businesses for whom even £25 is an expense they can do without. Then again, whilst a corporate, professional looking site is important for most businesses, there are a few sectors where the homespun look can actually benefit them. Off the top of my head, we have a number of sites from people breeding their own pedigree dogs – too professional a site may lead users to think it’s a ‘puppy farm’ rather than a single breeder in their own home.

I’d be very surprised if BG didn’t outline all the options available, but agree that simply introducing startup businesses to Spanglefish does benefit us to an extent. I’ll be happy to chat that over with them next time I’m in touch.

cheers

Garve
