Ed Davies - Websites and systems

Sick of tech faff? I build Websites that work harder than you do. WordPress builds for business owners who want freedom, not faff. Based in Scarborough.

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Just launched a new set of website options:

→ Full custom builds
→ £500 fast-track sites
→ £100 DIY course
→ £50 strategy calls

Different stages, different tools.
Same goal: a website that actually works.

DM me for the right fit.

@hostedby20i hi guys, stackstatus shows all systems operational but my sites (and it seems yours) are down...

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Given that "draw me" is one of the prompts on @grok , I'm surprised it couldn't be further from the truth if it tried

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Definitely time to move away from @EE

Any recommendations for networks that actually deliver decent #5G speeds?

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

@rokbercic @emailoftoday Not false scarcity at all if it's genuinely restricted - in which case I'd switch it up and say "only X spots left" instead.

Just out if interest, why are you limiting your email signups?

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

@rokbercic @emailoftoday False scarcity unless you truly are limiting spots though?

@PeteBrownBeer @Britbeerwriters Congratulations Pete

@natmiletic Nope 😆

Big win for me - client asked me to fix his Google Tag Manager setup as it wasn't tracking anything.

It took a few evenings as I only have a limited knowledge of GTM & it had originally been setup for UA, not GA4.

(I didn't charge for this)

But I got it there.

Next: visuals

Do I have anyone on Twitter who's a #GTM expert? I need a fresh pair of eyes on why a setup is tracking purchases but not their value in GA4...

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

It's insane the places potential clients can find you.

Helping my girlfriend at a wedding event (she's a florist) and 3 other suppliers that's she's introduced me to have all asked me to get in touch after the weekend.

Compare that to last week's cold email campaign. Nada

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

The hassle of cancelling the order, finding somewhere else, ordering and taking the risk again is too great for them.

E.g. with young ones, all that matters to parents is getting them fed.

All I'm saying is:

Don't equate no complaints to 100% satisfaction

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Hospitality: just because someone doesn't complain and has eaten most of their meal doesn't mean they were happy with it.

Check backs are important.

And paying attention to feedback online is also important.

A lot of people either don't want to make a scene, or (1/2)

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Surprised at just how many hotel PMS providers don't provide pricing information upfront.

They all want to get your details to schedule a call or a demo.

Researching solutions for a client with a set budget is a complete PITA.

At least put ballpark numbers there for me

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

@natmiletic @UpdraftPlus. Automatic, scheduled, incremental, off-site to Google drive. Bonus of migration as well

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

Given myself 90 days to achieve something that's been dragging on for years.

To do it, I'm going to have to go back to basics - offering affordable websites myself instead of the large projects with a team.

If you know anybody looking for smaller websites, please let me know

@atjbeer @dailystar @TeamUtopian @Fullers @kirkstallbrew @WyeValleyBrew @SalcombeBrewery @LochLomondBrew Another book to add to the collection at kilverts

@stellamills__ @BlackFerns I love how they come across - they don't change how they talk or act (suggesting 3 rugby pitches on the lawn was fantastic!)

[Ed Davies - Websites and systems @EdBeaverDavies]

@AndiBDesign O God no. I didn't need to see this 🙈
