Not sure if it's my browser or a temporary problem with your website.

BTW I like the look of your website, but a successful business is more than just a good / good looking website.

All done now, shouldn't have been more than 5 or 10 mins down time.

Really, WHY?

"we take no responsibility for long order time upon fault of the postage system."

What? Speak english.

And most of the products are rubbish brands.

279446 2004-10-12 06:58:00 I am constantly increasing the range, quality and fixing the prices of products, as I realise this needs to be done.

In fact, I even knew the prices were crap (mostly) before I posted this thread. I was mainly looking for criticism other than 'crap prices', '
crap brands'.

> "we take no responsibility for long order time upon fault of the postage system."

This means, if we send something out and the post company delays in delivering it, we are not responsible. I will make the sentence easier to follow.

> "Please be aware that to access many features of this site, you must have a JGI account that can be easily accessed, and used on most JG Industries websites. Click here to register for an account now."

Well, come to think of it you don't need to sign up for anything. It makes repeat orders and support much easier, but is not necessary. I will change the sentence accordingly.

> And most of the products are rubbish brands.

I have signed up with two new suppliers, greatly increasing the range of products I have access to. I will be adding new products and better brands soon.

I won't be able to do much work for several days though, as I am in the middle of buying half a new computer (new motherboard, CPU and RAM). I have sold my mobo and CPU on trademe and have to use and old Win98 machine.

279447 2004-10-12 07:10:00 Hi George,

before you charge off to start changing prices, adding more products, getting more suppliers, changing your website etc. - stop and take the time out to check out some of the information available for small businesses here (www.biz.org.nz).

You mentioned in one of your earlier posts you haven't yet made a sale from the website. If this is the case then IMHO before you do anything more you should step back and have a look at what it is you are trying to achieve and why. Once you have a better vision of where you are headed then you can set up your website / business accordingly (if that fits in with your revised plans).

HTH, Andrew.
