New website

[skywalker73]

I just put this up. I tried to keep it as short and sweet as possible. This is just a small part time thing for me(more fun than anything). www.winward.net (http://www.winward.net)
Any input would be appreciated!

Nice and simple.

Advert banners don't go over well with many clients.

Yeh, I hate that thing too. I have the site on another server, and register.com gives me free fowarding if I have the banner on the page. I have to pay something like 50 bucks a year to not have it!

[j_kookboy]

That's less than 1 buck a week.

Pretty steep if you ask me ;)

I pay $7.95 per month for 6,000GB of bandwidth, no banners, great customer service.

Upgrade, it's worth the cost and your first impression.

Ok, I sucked it up tonight and paid to get rid of that ugly banner.
What are your views on hit-counters? I had one hiding under that banner(on most computers). I was thinking about hiding it until it gets a few hits or just deleting it. I would think advertising a website that has just 80 hits(probably half of them mine) would seem pretty unproffesional!

I'm still working on my website,,
I'd add it to my Signature if it's not already there.

I use Hostmonster,, Web serves,
I just talked to Mechant Services today, don't know if this is a Good Deal or not.
But the mechant Serves offered this.
$25.00 Month Service fees... $15.00 for something and $10.00 for the other,,
Don't ask,,
It still sounds pretty good. $25.00 a month. Web Credit Card Services,
And If some one calls with a Credit card Authorization over the phone, I can go to their web site and place an Order. They also said that all funds would be posted in 48 hours, But they also charge 2.1 % on transactions and .39$ oer Trans fee,
:confused:
I'll be talking to a couple other Merchant services over the next two weeks, But it looks like, since I Use Hostmonster.com I'm going to ge ta pretty good deal On merchant services, :thumbup:

[skywalker73]

I have no interest in the credit card stuff. Cash works for me!

Your Web Site looks pretty Good!! :thumbup:
I'm doing some D.O.D work for the Next 8 Days,, I'll start back on my Website then.

I'm talking to Merchant Services Monday about Credit Cards, I like it, even with one job a month God forbid, Cost or merchant services is rolled into the price.
example, I expect $300.00 a flight min. plus the cost of Travel and Editing, So tack on another $200.00 for Travel and Editing. You can Invoice consumables or misc material cost at 2 - 3 % covering operating expenses.
In most cases with Plastic, the average person is going to have a $h*^ it and Forget it outlook when the Bank is taking the risk. So now you'll have novice customers that you wouldn't normally have. :YeaBaby: I have a lot of them in this area. If I just took cash and Checks, I would be relying on indiviual income verses bank Power. That has it's minor set backs, and losses, But I also consider the pros verses cons, in my favor.:thumbup:

Agents are going to be more particular, and skeptical at first, until you build good business relationship with them, but Contract services with them due to requirements by the Agents or Corps should drive up the cost of services due to materials and time Spent over $1,200.00 a job +++.. :) That's what Title Companies and Agents are willing to pay on Business contracts verses the Individual who wants some Good Clean Shots that sells their product or Property.

I'm still working on project, material, consumable and time cost for producitvity packages to Individuals and Companies right now. I guess you could say that I'm getting a slow start at it. But that's a risk that I'm willing to take starting up my Business.
My Average day starts at 04:00am and ends somewhere around 11:00pm and some of the time around 1:00am 7 Days a weeks 52 weeks a year. Not complaining, Just glad I'm staying ahead, and my family never knows the feeling of doing without. I got married 22 years ago, And my Wife has never worked outside of the home,, :YeaBaby:....

Hmmmm Kids are slowly leaving,the house,, I'm starting a Bussiness,, Maybe she needs to get involved,, Now theres a thought,, :rolling
:lolol:thinking:whip:lolol
