DO Plumber's need web sites?

[BT2007]

Hello,

I have created this post because I need some questions answered by Contractors. I am actually a web designer, but many of my friends and family are builders. They ask me for web sites and I noticed they all ask for the same things (i.e. Home Page, About Us, Services, Contact, Photo Gallery).

My question is: Do Contractors really need web sites?

The reason I'm asking is because I am in the process of creating a web tool to make it as easy to create a web page as it is to write an email. This way it will be a lot cheaper and easier to have a web site and manage it.

I am hoping people will be willing to give me some feedback on this idea and take my survey. The survey is 10 quick questions, but I welcome more of your thoughts! =)

The survey is at: http://www.BuilderTown.com/PlumbingPages_s

If you are willing to give me more info or have any questions, please email me at: ray@BuilderTown.com

Sincere Regards,

Ray

To anyone reading this!

This is someone in the USA who is trying to sell his services.

Its about £120 a year ( this is a UK Forum! ) to host and use a basic common format.

Troubly is that I have been conned by these people before! Once they host your site they then increase the fee and block you from moving your domain to a new ( cheaper ) host of YOUR choice.

Its surprising that he did not bother to list several of the sites they have provided.

thing is as well, theirs tools out their that let you create your own website allready, most ISP's provide this so its nothing new he's offering.
