There are four ways of increasing the prominence of your Directory Listing. By changing the size of your name, by changing the colour of your name, by changing the lower case letters of your organisation's name to upper case, and by making your entry list earlier in the directory.
There are 3 levels of enhanced size, one selection from a range of 12 colours and 9 levels of position. The charge for each unit of these is £1 per month or £10 per year (plus Vat). These are useful when distinguishing yourselves from your competitors in large categories such as: Accountants, Car Repair, Consultants, Electricians, Estate Agents, Hairdressers, Hotels and Restaurants. |

You can have a professionally designed Web Page or series of connected Web Pages linked to your directory entry at a cost per page of £10 per month or £100 per year (plus Vat).
Use your page to show what you do to the best effect. Treat it like an online full colour brochure; it saves you having to send out the same information by post. Include any short term special offers. Although this can be updated as often as you wish, it is aimed at businesses with fairly static information. It can contain logos of trade and professional organisations. Suitable for trades people, professionals, service providers and for shops who are not ready for a full-blown web presence. As a bonus you also get 1 level of prominence (worth £10 per annum) per page - use it to draw attention to your directory entry. |

With an online Store you get all the following benefits: You can have complete control over your site - you do not need the services of an expensive "consultant" every time you want to make a minor change.

One step up from the Online Store is Online Trading, where site visitors can buy goods and services over the net. This service is an extension of the online store and costs an extra £50 per month or £500 per year (plus Vat).
This is not suitable for all businesses. You should be offering a product or service that can be fully specified online and that can be delivered by a convenient means (down the telephone line is the ideal). You can also use it to enable people to book and pay in advance for a particular product or service. If your main aim is to encourage prospective customers to visit you, then the Online Store is sufficient. Examples of business that would find Online Trading of benefit include: Takeaways, Book shops and Publishers, Flower shops, Mail order, Gifts and Souvenirs, Software Games, Travel Agents, Sports Clubs, Theatres and Concert Halls, Tourist Attractions, Music shops. Online Trading offers all the benefits of the online Store together with: The taking of orders for your goods and services. The taking of online card payments (see note below). Note on card payments: There are transaction charges associated with online card payments. With your own Internet Merchant agreement we can set you up to link to Paydex for payment processing. This is not the same as any existing Merchant agreement with your card acquirer. We can also set you up with Worldpay if you do not have such an agreement (subject to status). Wordplay make a bureau charge for this as well as a transaction charge. Nevertheless, it is a useful first step into online Trading before committing to an Internet Merchant agreement. |
