You did your site yourself Kevin! Good work.

 

Ours is from a template as well but nothing like as classy as yours mind you just having an internet presence is half the job.

Is that a viable option with the evolution of Wix etc?

 

I didn't have a website for ages but whilst down with man-flu Nov last year had a tinker and put together something that I'm quite happy with.  

 

As recent as a few years ago perhaps you'd have to be a proper geek to build your own website and it might have been worth paying out some bunce to have it done for you...  But it incurred the usual upselling and tie-in costs of having to pay for amendments, not owning the copyright etc.

 

Now, as I found, you can find and buy the web name for peanuts (123 reg), build a page on Wix and amend / update at your leisure.  

 

That kind of leaves only the big corporate entities that want an IT geek or the knuckle dragging saw monkeys (I include myself in that category) who don't want the faff of doing it themselves as a market share.... and if you focus on the arb sector, wouldn't your natural design tendencies / preferences result in all the arb sites you create being vaguely similar rather than uniquely individual?  

 

PS if anyone looks at 123 reg.com and is thinking about a web name they might like, don't keep going back to look at the same one many times because it causes the price to go up since they think it is desirable.  Think about it first, look once, then buy....  Some are even free for first year if you sign up for 2 years If of a devious nature for example, that has to be of concern to legitimate organisations who might have unscrupulous bandits piggy backing on their good name.

 

 

Bit over priced  I think, I mean.....you put that Web site up an loads of tree felling videos appear.....K

Cladding our new kitchen with some Lawson I felled And milled

Big Alder came down in the the recent winds across a small ravine and river. I tied in to a nearby tree as there were no foot holds on the banks. No access for machinery so everything was roped and dragged out by hand. Bit of a pig.

Great job John!

Some shots of a few jobs we are doing in Madrid Spain. Some dead and wind blown pines and a big elm that has been badly hacked so loads of dead wood to come out, I’m a bit reluctant to reduce any of the live crown as I don’t think it would cope well with it.
