      Not sure if you already have a preferred AV company that you use, but we have an MSP program if you're interested: http://www.webroot.com/us/en/partners/msp/

      Good luck on jumping into the world of self-employment!

            I like it! The fade to a bit of time to load for me, but that might be the bits having to swim under the ocean.

              Thanks Nic. Wasn't sure on the fade either. Seems to be hit and miss whether it is slow or not!

                When I see mission statements like yours I tend to think "blah, blah, blah....", but that's probably just me! I hate marketing speak.

                "We offer so many services, it would not be feasable to list them all"
                Why not? Also, spelling mistake?

                When I scroll down whilst reading the text, the background, which doesn't scroll, makes my eyes go funny.

                Because you talk about "we", it sounds like you're an IT company, yet you don't have an address? This is a big turn-off for me. Are you marketing the company or yourself? An IT company and an IT consultant are two separate things, and I'm confused as to which you are?

                    I don't see anything talking about your focus on the manufacturing sector. If you are going to focus on that, it seems like the web site should really speak to that. Make sure that people looking at the web site have no doubt that you are experienced on manufacturing and make an effort to focus on that.

                      Spelling mistake - sorted. The main reason for not listing everything is lack of time. I set aside 2 hours to do the site and compacted it accordingly. As with all these things it's an ongoing process. The missing address is being sorted by the accountants to register the business at a dummy address on my behalf. Technically it is a company as I have 3 other consultants who will be working for me where needed with different skill sets.
                      The manufacturing stuff is coming later and is being put together by a professional site designer, rather than a 2 hour hash job. But in the mean time yes you're right i should emphasise that on this one too.

                        Well, OK. For two hours work it's pretty good. I'll delay further judgement until it's finished.

                          How much does it cost to run a dummy address? I may need to do this for a business venture I'm starting up.

                            @Carnival-Boy in the US a "dummy" addres starts around $10/mo. Very cheap.

                              Getting a client-base built up is the hard part, and it takes a long time. You'll need something else for work for probably at least the first 2-4 years. Just my 2ยข.
