Having been involved in running more than one small business, I was very aware about the importance of having a good website. The challenge was how to finance the cost of building and maintaining the site. My answer was to learn how to build web sites myself. Once I had this knowledge, and had seen the benefits that the web site brought to my companies, I decided to offer my web services to other companies, under the Tenbury Web name.
For most small companies it is best to start simple, and keep the costs to a minimum.
I was also a Parish Councillor for a number of years and know how important it is to communicate what the Council is doing, rather than work behind closed doors and only reappear at election time.
