Do you want your web site to WORK for you?
I think most businesses want their web site to earn them money just like
the rest of their investments. Well, I run a
business and that's what I want! At theWebBothy, I have brought together
all the various aspects of getting a small business successfully online in
one place and marketing it to your customers.

Do you want a graphic designer or a businessman to advise you about your business internet presence?
Over the 8 years that I have been involved with the internet, I have gathered an immense amount of knowledge through trial and error, hard graft and spending a great deal of my own money, building, promoting, marketing and publishing web sites. Why waste your time and effort trying to learn what has taken me thousands of hours to acquire?
There are plenty of good web designers out there, but not many who understand online business and marketing. Be it Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising or generating high quality copy and content for your site, I have a solution to your ecommerce question.
Your mind is like a parachute. It only works if it is open.
Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
Throughout this site I have endeavoured to give you honest advice and information. From articles to software, I hope that what you see will not only benefit the small business owner but also the small business owner's web designer. I have seen some horrendous 'crimes' committed by small businesses when taking their first steps online and hopefully we can make these mistakes a thing of the past.
In fact, I will even give away some of this knowledge for FREE!
There is no catch, just sign up for my internet newsletter (top right of this page or below) and I will immediately send you some FREE VIDEOS that will help get you started in the right direction. Oh, by the way, I hate spam email just as much as everyone else, so you can be assured I won't sell or give your details to anyone else.

Small Business Internet Advice
I get phone calls asking what a small business start-up requires in terms of an internet presence, marketing, equipment and straight forward advice. For the past 10 years I have gathered together an immense amount of information and know-how when it comes to helping small businesses get off on the right step with regards to the internet and ecommerce. I have seen a lot of small businesses waste time and money as well as getting ripped off by the many unscrupulous operators out there.
