A con, or worth doing?

[snufflepuff]

A man phoned me yesterday from a website designing company, offering a 'deal'- apparently I just have to pay £99 every 12 months for the domain name/ web address and that's it, they design the website and make it up for free. To be honest i'm not sure if that's a good price or not. The man was very pushy, very much a salesman! Friendly enough though.
I would like a website but the thing is, from September i'll be full (Well, as full as I want to be) so I almost think what's the point in spending the money on a website when i'd have to tell any parents who contact me as a result of the website that i'm full!?
Anyway, I asked him to call back tomorrow when I've had a think about it. Should I say yes please or no thank you?

I would say from my experience i have not needed a website only word of mouth and a brief time on childcare.co.uk, but it is up to you obviously factors that are apparent to your area and competition should be taken into consideration and....................pauline on here apparently does fab websites at a reasonable cost x

A company rang me a while ago and I said no thank you.

I am not a technical whizz but I am ok to design my own which does the job... and Pauline makes some lovely websites...

If you really want one and can't do your own, then speak to Pauline, So easy to do business with and she knows what CM's want. I wouldn't trust anyone that rings me selling something

I would be wary of someone just ringing to offer this service - it might turn out to be a con.

If you're full atm then I can't see the point in having one.

My brother did my website for me, the domain name is only a few pounds per year. It depends what you get for the £99. Who updates the website and maintains it and how professional the site looks.
