Getting started !!!

[andymjoyce]

Hello, Margaret and myself [Andy] purchased an ABI static Aug '07. We have pitched at Hutleys Caravan Holiday Park, St Osyth Beach, Near Clacton on Sea, Essex. This was the en-product of a day out to the beach and a meal in the Sailor Boy Cafe. Ten days later we bought this lovely 'HOME FROM home' and look forward to the season opening on the 1st March 09. We hired it out to friends and work collegues during our first season and covered the fees for 09. Built a website and have started taking bookings for Easter and Whitsun. Just hope everything goes well this year. It is nice to be in contact with so many people with experience as this is where hope to continue picking other owners knowledge. Thanks for allowinfg us to participate.

Try freewebs it guides you through building the site & its fun.
Personally i think its worth the expense on also advertising on a professional site that gets plenty of hits from searches.

Freewebs is a good place to help build a website, But one thing that will be better is to learn html and css, try w3schools.com for that :)

Hi Andy & Margaret,
Hutleys is a very nice site and one I know well as I spent several years working next door at Seawick, though please d`not hold that against me, before I went out on my own.
Good luck for the bookings.
As for a website I brought a website in box programme on amazon for a price of about £65.00 called " Mr Site Takeaway website Pro" and built it myself very easy to use no experince requiered comes with all templates and full instructions and allows for payments to be takern using paypal and helps you get listed on search engines I am on front page of google no extra cost to any listing companies well worth the money.
