[pianotech] Web Site Usefullness

Pat
i have had a website since 1996, and though it's been revised several times, I use it mostly for piano listings as an online catalogue . . . not that there's much activity these days.
Almost everyone will 'check your website' to assess your level of legitimacy, and experience.
It's not always a good measuring stick, but that seems to be a very popular tool . . 
Domain registration, hosting and construction are all quite affordable, and accessible . .
like nike says . . .  just do it !!

  Patrick,

  It can't hurt.  Talk to Tremaine Parsons.  It's really cheap and will give lots more people access to your services.  I find lots of people contact me because I have a website (and also because of the PTG site).  It's a far better investment than yellow page ads.  Check mine out at dstahlpiano.net.  I don't sell anything, just try to educate customers and give them a way to contact me.

  Good day all: I am considering putting up a web site, but just wonder how much of a result other PTG members have had with theirs. I offer the standard tuning and repair services, no refinishing, sales, or moving, and am in a semi-rural area with a smallish population 60 miles from the state capitol, Sacramento. 
  Thanks,
