Just to add to Derek and Johns comments If you go to the Independent Garage forum and start from the bottom and work your way up, they all have web links to members websites, this should inspire you Other tips: Make sure you have all the details on your home page ie: Garage name (obvious), location address, post code, telephone numbers and all the services you offer. Have a page with a clear printable map on how to find you (essential) The Google and MSN spider bots will crawl and index all Meta descriptions and words on the home page (plus your other pages) Try not to put your e-mail address on the home page, use an enquiry form, this will stop the spammers sending you shed loads of rubbish Don't worry about submitting to loads of search engines (paying) as Google and MSN are the only one that count. Best way to get your site indexed is to have a few friends or other garages put your link on their site (exchange links), this is the quickest way to get it picked up by search engines Keep the site basic and simple (not to many graphics) if its takes to long to load or to heavy on Flash, customers will pass you by, they want their car fixed not a lesson in web design I am located in Redhill Surrey, and most of my new customers find me through the site. Having a web presence is a MUST HTH Peter
Once you have your site done make sure you include Meta Tags with your site description, key words etc
