The North East, has the same opportunities in ecommerce as anywhere else, due to the flexibility of the internet. Yet most businesses never get back the investment they made with business website.

The internet is still growing at a remarkable rate to the extent of thousands of WebPages being added every day. The rules of engagement are different to years gone by and merely having a website is no longer a guarantee that anyone will ever see it.

There are some basic principles that are true for the small businesses within the North East as for the big corporations. These are often not discussed as SEO (search engine optimisation) companies want to charge you for managing your account.

There is a difference between the artistic design of a website and the mechanics of it being found by your customers. It is important that your web design house is achieving both or you have enough control to take over the marketing.

For example if you are one of only three plumbers in "anytown". When a potential customer searches for "plumber in Anytown" you should be within the first 3 results on most search engines. If you are not, chances are your website is not working for you and you have wasted your money.

I can help you with these issues, using hands on training and down to earth language. I am a businessman based in the North East using the internet as a medium rather than the other way around.

How do I know this? Because I do it everyday with my own businesses.
