Free advertising for website designers

astralone · #1 (**permalink**) 04-07-2004, 06:32 AM

Hi designers, here is a chance for you to get your site listed on mine for free and with no link return request.I am going to be adding a new page to my online garage sale www.astralenterprise.com/garagesale.htm the page is going to be for website designers only ( http://www.astralenterprise.com/websitedesigning.htm ). I will be reviewing your site to see if your site will be informative, prices (a base price), and good contact information (not just email). I am not asking for a return link, I just want my customers to have access to site designers without having to search all over the internet so they can have their own website and start their own business without the hassle and confusion of having to choose which ones are good. Again, this is only for website designers. I am only going to be adding 10 sites and each ad will have a picture of the front page of your site, good luck.

Hi jumpstartpro,
I have reviewed your site and came to this decision; I see you have a portfolio of sites that you have designed and they look good, but I would like for my customers to see some pricing, for example if you could let me know of a starting price for a basic website would cost. A sort of starting point for your prices. If you add that information to your site, I will add your site on the page with no problem, thanks

Hi ensueno, thank you for the request but the site you gave me www.nitrocovers.com is for adding things to an existing website. I am looking for website designers only. Thanks for the request though.

hello midnite, thanks for reponding to my request. I will be looking at your site within the hour and will let you know the outcome. I will update this post when it's done. thanks again.

astralone · #6 (**permalink**) 04-09-2004, 05:25 AM

Hi midnite, I must admit, that is exactly the site we were looking for. Very informative, easy to navigate, price list, samples, contact information (right on the home page), etc, etc, etc. I am glad you answered my post. I believe you will do very well with your site, not just on mine but anywhere. The BEST thing about your site is the fact that all of the important information is right on the home page and you didn't use a bunch of words to tell the customer and you don't have to go searching for anything, it's all right there on the home page. Great job, don't change it! Good luck and welcome to Astral Enterprise. You can view your post at http://www.astralenterprise.com/websitedesigning.htm Ok, there is only 17 positions left.

I'd love to be listed in your website. My prices are listed, I have a portfolio page, and I include a contact form with phone number. (I just added the phone number. You're absolutely right. Thanks for the idea.)

astralone · #8 (**permalink**) 04-10-2004, 08:18 PM

Hi Irene, thanks for responding to my post. I will be reviewing your site within the hour. I briefly looked at the home page a minute ago and I must say, I like what i see so far. you definetly caught my eye with the picture following my mouse pointer and you have the contact information down pact. I will update this post as soon as I finish, thanks again.

astralone · #9 (**permalink**) 04-10-2004, 09:25 PM

Hi Irene, yep you got us. We liked your prices and we loved the animated picture of you with the eyes following us, very nice touch. You can view your ad at http://www.astralenterprise.com/websitedesigning.htm You caught our attention with a simple but yet a very affective website. Keep up the great work and welcome to Astral Enterprise.

If you are still taking sites, then please consider us. Our url is http://www.imlnetworks.com

Hi blackicicle,

I have a few question about your site. Does the customer have access to his or her dns? If they wanted to transfer their site to someone else, what would be the process? If a customer wanted to change something on their site, is the only way to accomplish this is to login and request it? Do they have their own control panel? How many email addresses are they allowed? Thanks

Hello Astraone,
Thank you for the interest shown in listing our company on your site. If you have any further questions of comments that are not answered below then feel free to inquire further.

Quote:

Does the customer have access to his or her dns?

Yes our customers do have access to their domain upon request, but most of our customers prefer not to dabble with the technical aspecs of their website. In fact we register our clients domain in their (or their business) name and it becomes the property of the client upon registration. (This is stated in our Terms of Service) We usually keep the login information unless requested, but for those who do request control over their domain then all the information is provided to them.

Quote:

If they wanted to transfer their site to someone else, what would be the process?

The primary service that we provide is somewhat unique in that its not quite the traditional web design services as we know it nor is it quite a template based service but it sits somewhere in between the two.

We bill our clients on a yearly basis and in the case of cancellation, certain fees such as SSL certificates (if applicable) are non refundable. In case of cancellation of the service, the client is responsible for all his/her files on the servers, and as such must make the necessary arrangments to retrive those files. All required information is provided to the client.

Quote:

If a customer wanted to change something on their site, is the only way to accomplish this is to login and request it?

There are actually many ways for our clients to submit information for their site. They may fax pictures and other graphics to us, they may email content, pictures, and suggestions to us and they can also submit information via the client control panel on our site.

Most of our sites are built with an admin interface which enables the client to directly edit the text on their site. This feature is only for text and not for graphics however.

Quote:

Do they have their own control panel?

Yes both on our site https://www.imlnetworks.com/login.php and usually from their websites admin interface.

Quote:

How many email addresses are they allowed?

Our clients are all allowed unlimited pop3 email addresses, regardless of the package chosen.

Thanks

:) You're welcome!

Hi blackicicle,

Thanks for answering all my questions, we have included your site on our page. It seems to be a good idea to handle all the aspects of the site, if, the person does not know how. Good luck with everything and welcome to Astral Enterprise

astralone · #14 (**permalink**) 04-13-2004, 02:00 PM

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the request so far that I have been receiving. Just a quick note to let everyone else know that there are only four openings left, good luck.

Hi Hugoguzman,

I have reviewed your site and I like your site very, very much I think you have something great going, but I cannot accept it because I would like my customers to have more of a contact information to the company they intend to deal with. Thanks for replying to my post.

Hi blackicicle,

I was just reading another one of your posts and i did not know you had a directory. Great idea, I hope you do well. You should screen all the sites (I know, a lot of work) so you can become a great search engine. I do not put search engines on my site because its a way of advertising for someone that i'm already paying, they should pay me to put a search bar on my site. I am going to keep track of your directory and I might be interested in showing your results on our site, I am also going to be adding my link, great site, glad to meet you.

hello,

Hi azizzi,

I must say, this site is simply put, awesome! Everything from design to contact to pricing. It has unlimited potential, from going over the site I see your main branch would be in pakistan. There is something that puzzles me very much. You state on your site that you have offices in pakistan, united states, australia, and the united kingdom. My questions are this; #1 why are you on webproworld? #2 How large is this company? #3 How long have you been in business? It just strikes me funny that with that many locations and a fantastic looking site, you have the time to reply to this post and request a link.

azizzii · #20 (**permalink**) 04-15-2004, 11:13 PM

Hello astralone,

Hope u got ur answers, so plz tell me if qualify :)

Hi azizzii,

I have sent you one more question and that should pretty much clear things up.Thanks for being patient

Hi Astralone,

Your generous offer is appreciated. I have two sister web sites that have similar content with a different look and feel. Both have prices listed and a portfolio page among others.

http://www.bowiewebdesign.com

http://www.spwwebwork.com

I would appreciate being listed on your sites.

Hi Stuw,

We forgot to update this post. Sorry, but we have stopped taking in more ads. We have been scrutinized because of who we don'tchoose. You know stuw, it's amazing how people can get upset because of what we do with our own site, and to top that off, you are offering a free service. If you would like to know what i'm talking about, read my other post that ask's for website designers.
