You see, an extra £5 makes all the difference.

Still think legally you have to show a business address however.

Easiest thing to do is register the company as a Ltd and then use the registered address - usually that of the accountant.

It's not a case of what you want to do, if it's law then you run the risk of offending. A business is just that, a business. It stops being a hobby.

As OllyK has pointed out, registering as Ltd allows you to put your accountants address down.

**** that, you dont need to be going limited unless there is a chance you could end up in debt. Dont go limited unless you have to.

I'm pretty sure you dont have to put your contact address on either so stuff that as well. (although i'm not 100% on that and i'm sure i'll be corrected) and besides if the case i'm sure someone in authority will be along in due course.


That is a nice simple website btw.

Infinitely better, well done!

Now you just need to sort out the niggly bits with spelling and grammar (and the shop to keep the look consistent!).

It does mention here that a geographic address is required. That's an easy one then. 'From up north'.

yup nice job - but like someone else said spelling needs sorting! Always get someone else to check it for you first it's amazing how typos slip into the shortest of text - and its no good checking it yourself - you wont see them.

Get the store to look like the rest of the site. the store looks poor in comparison and that's where people spend their money (or won't since it doesn't look right)

Address - can you use a PO box? (i.e. it'll go to your address but the sender won't know what the address is).

£56 for 12 months, get a PO Box, not 100% anonymous but miles better than "Hmmm I dont think I'll order off them, they dont have their address on there and will probably do a runner with my dosh"...

http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/c...mediaId=600006

£99 setup + £10 per month will get you a virtual phone number with features like professionally recorded greetings, call routing, press 1 for sales etc etc, out of hour mail boxes, divert to any land line etc etc...

http://www.realitytelecom.co.uk/

Looks a million times better than the original.

As above though, check it for spelling/grammar/typos:

"This means if youR product or products"

Nice crystal btw, hope it goes well for ya.

Looks much better than before, cleaner.

Just going back onto the address problem, I am not sure about the legalities but as a potential customer I would be put off spending money if they didnt have an address. It would be a bit to anonymous for my liking. Having said that an address on the web could just as easily be fake.

From a logistics point of view you should have an address up there for people to send returns to, if any arise.

Much better, laid out well and home page fits in a basic laptop screen with no scrolling.
Thought the site loaded quite slow and even more obvious in the online shop..
Thumbnails could do with being less kbs maybe, no need for them to be brilliant quality, leave that for the main image.

Other than the spellings pointed out above.....
