It bloody better cause you guys will all be buyin from me

Getting away from the plastering has ben a long time coming mate,you know how you get into a rut and S**t scared to try something else so just keep putting it off? Well i woke up one morning and thought to myself, ( I`m Tough Today) am gonny make the change!!!

to be honest i just never got the opportunity to make the move until now. i have been doing courses for the past 6 years and have quite a few under my belt now with Microsoft and Cisco, as well as having a business back home doing much the same thing for 3 years so i think i know wht i`m doing we will see when my site goes live

BTW: Building websites aint my side of things but i think i`m learning.

Constructive Critisism is always welcome, but i think real honest opinions are better so when its almost ready to go online permanently i will get some feedback from you guys beforehand

Wish me Luck

You really need help with your website !!!

If your on a Linux , server with Cpanel. Log in, and activate, OzCommerce.

It will auto install, and configure databases etc.

Within minutes you will on the right track.

Your page is knackered, because you are using frames, and the email box, is within main content frame , and affecting divs.

Start it again !!!

I have had it altered a bit, i am keeping it online for the rest of the day if you guys dont mind having a look and throw some opinions. i like to hear the truth no matter how it is and appreciate all comments as it can only be good for me if i feel i have to make more changes.

I have put 3 test links on the main page so you can see how it is going to lok when finished, i know it still looks a bit bare at the moment but i`m looking for more comments on the setout/layout rather than what you are selling is crap like.

Hi Sunny
Glad you're finally getting settled mate. It is a struggle, some pull through, some don't.
Really pleased for you. Good luck with the new mission.

Anyway, i was just wondering how many of us have here have started their own business, what type, and how you are getting on with it.

I am having a website built just now and was sent a basic snapshot of roughtly how it will look,and just wondered what you guys thought of it as i aint sure about how its set out.

i aint advertising so i hope the thread doesnt get shut down
\i think your web page is looking good, looks easy to use & heading catches your eye..I buy quite a lot on line & the amount of time you have to search around before you can just click & buy drives me mad! Are you in computing. Sorry just joined site- how long you been in Oz & how did you get there? Do you have to be in Oz certain amount of time before you can set up a business? Tracey

Is this a franchise that your opening as it is very similar to the original in Glesga.

Small world isn't it.

For those of you basking in the Austrailian sunshine it's -6 here in Glasgow and snowing, bang goes another weekend to the weather, god I wish I was there.

Trouble is I left it to late and I'm now to old and over the hill according to Australian immigration rules!

Talk about discrimination. Might go to NZ instead.

Question for those in the know.
How long after being accepted for a residence visa do you have to move to Aus?

It does look a bit similar, aint that amazing how 2 people from different sides of the world can have the same imagination and mind in designing a website.

So weird
