Condor - have you thought about trying a daily deal site for your service - or is it because you are not fully operational that you cannot indulge this kind of stuff yet?

What else do you need to start the business? Surely if you have a phone, a computer and an ABN you should be right to go?

But ok, to address your question, have you thought about running classes on Wordpress? You might not get a great deal of uptake on FS, the reason being is there is such a large portion of designers, web, seo type people, but I am sure if you were to host a proper 'Getting started on the web, webinar' those that have not yet ventured, or have only just started would be interested.

I guess the other thing with your previous deal - people are inherently lazy - the thought of switching over to WP is great, and not having to pay someone else sounds great, but at least if I pay someone else it will get done

if you are offering web dev as your service where are the costs in setting up your own site?

not sure im getting it!!

Not quite sure what you mean by "is that what my business will be", but ummmm..... I'm a developer so that is something that I can offer is all.

As for your other question, never said all the costs were related to getting my site up (however FTR I am a developer, not a designer); the site is primarily done apart from some copywriting that needs to be done + a few small graphics here and there.

So other things (including the copywrtiting) is what is preventing me from launching the site and the business.

I have considered it, but not very strongly because, yes, as you say I would prefer to be fully operational before doing anything like that. Also from what someone else said about those sites put me off; in that first off you are already offering a great deal and then the site wants to make a big cut as well - where is the money left for you!?

lol I feel like I have gone over this 100 times now so I won't go into detail on WHY I need them. I need copywriting for the website, a new phone line and new phone... so not a HUGE amount by any means, probably a bit under $500.

Maybe convert is a better word because I assume that is what you are doing? You and I of course know what a cms is but not everyone out there knows what it is - just stick with what people will gain from having their site using wordpress.

"I will convert your site to use wordpress which means you can easily update the site yourself saving you a lot of money and hassles" etc etc.

Makes sense haha.... thanks!

Have you thought about dropping the bit that relates to just Perth? All of Australia (at a minimum) is your potential market, right?

Cant wait to see your website turned on.

Hey mate.... the "Perth" part in my sig link is mainly just for SEO purposes and also a little bit for local promotion as a lot of the times people do prefer to work with someone local. Happy to work for anyone though
