About The Site

I had a lot of fun working on this site. It’s a custom WordPress website, making it easy for DeeJay OB to update and manage the pages, posts, text, images and video himself. The site comes with photo gallery, blog, contact form, SEO features and lots more goodies.

I first saw DeeJay OB in action when he played to a capacity crowd at the River Of Shadows Music Festival that I was involved in organising and promoting. James played after the ‘Delorentos’ and it was a great finish to the event as the floor was packed for his entire set. So when he asked me to work with him on this new site I was delighted to do so.

Check his website regularly for updates and if you are looking for a DJ in Kerry, he is the guy to talk to!

Do you remember the day you made your first sale as an entrepreneur?

I do.

I sold bootleg music tapes (you remember them right?) in school at the tender age of 13.

I was a shy kid in a pretty tough CBS school in Crumlin, Dublin. To make matters worse, I didn’t go to the same primary school as the other kids. Being shy AND the new guy in a class of 34 sure gets you a lot of unwanted attention.

Times were tough.

The previous Christmas my sister got a ‘boom box’ double tape track radio with high-speed recording. This was a huge leap in technology at the time. Imagine, recording an album tape at twice the play speed and at the low cost of a blank tape. Wow.

I had a small music collection I recorded for my friends and they recorded tapes for me. I realised between the three of us we had a lot of varied music.

That’s when I had my first entrepreneurial idea:

1. Make a list of our combined music
2. Pitch the list to the kids in my school
3. Take orders
4. Copy the tapes
5. Deliver the tapes
6. Turn a profit

It’s like I was struck by lighting! I was obsessed, on fire!

I headed up the business and took on my friends as partners – one equal, the other more a supplier (he had the most music but would not be selling or getting involved with production etc.)

I wrote a list out by hand and had several grainy photocopies made. I sourced ‘six packs’ of really cheap 60 minute tapes and blew all my pocket money on a pack. All I needed to do now was overcome my shyness the next day at school.

Easier said than done I can tell you…

But that faithful Monday morning, before first class, faced with ridicule and beatings, I mustered up all my courage and made my pitch, and handed out the list of music for sale…

The inevitable happened. Some of the lists were ripped up, the laughing began and I had the sinking feeling that this was going to be a tough week. What had I gotten myself into?

Then it happened.

One of the biggest ‘head-cases’ I have ever had the pleasure to meet in my entire life made an order. I still remember the band, ‘S-Express’. That was the first. I sold about 10 tapes that day, my pal Stephen (a natural salesman) probably sold more.

After costs we were making around £1.50 profit per tape! Over the next few weeks we kept selling and the orders kept coming in!

We were in business, and more importantly for me, something changed. I had become an entrepreneur. I could make things happen. I could find things that other people want and pitch it to them and get paid for doing something I loved. I could also overcome my fears to make that happen.

I hope you’re doing something you love doing today.

I hope you still feel the buzz of being an entrepreneur. I hope you remember that you are a person who can make things happen.

And if things are tough right now – like your overdraft(s) is overdrawn, or Christmas is coming and your goose is already cooked – remember this, you’ll find a way through.

You always do.

Make 2010 YOUR Year.

Regards,
Peter.

P.s. Years later and I’m still an entrepreneur and I’m still finding ways to help people add value to their business. My Affordable Starter Websites have proven popular in my nine months of trading. I’m delighted to have been able to help so many people promote their business ideas online.

I will be making some changes to Starter Websites for 2010. Prices will be going up (a little) and I’ll have a couple of new online marketing packages to compliment the websites.

If you want to start promoting your business online from 1st January 2010, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you as I’m fully booked up for December. But if you want your website to go live early/mid January, then give me a call/email.

All orders made and paid for in December will be at 2009 prices. The sooner you place your order the sooner your new website goes live in 2010, so contact Starter Websites today.

P.p.s. I’d love you hear your story about how you became an entrepreneur. Email me or leave your comment below.

It was great working with Seán. His deep knowledge of the Dingle Peninsula and his passion for delivering the best guided tours of the region was evident from the start of the project.

4th Starter Website For Dennigan Photography

“Great Peter. Really pleased with the site. It looks brilliant so thank you.”

~ Pauline Dennigan Photographer

This is photographer Pauline Dennigans’ FORTH website from Starter Websites (I must be doing something right!). Pauline had a very clear idea of what she wanted for her main business website. The site is visually unique and Pauline’s colour scheme really allows her photographs to take centre stage.

Stunning Gallery Feature

Because Pauline is Kerry’s leading wedding photographer, it was essential to present her work with easy to use and visually appealing galleries. I replaced the old gallery with the slick and attractive ‘lightbox galleries’. This looks professional and stylish and saves on load-time compared to the old gallery which loaded a different web page for every image.

Cross Browser Testing

The site has been tested for correct display across several main browsers including Firefox. IE (including IE6), Google Chrome, Safari and so on.

Retaining Visitor Traffic During Website Update

The new site is PHP while the old one was HTML, so I took steps to ensure the old pages redirected to the new pages so that website traffic would not be lost when the new site replaced the old.

SEO and Links

The site is fully search engine optimised (SEO) and the project includes dozens of links back to Pauline’s site (to further improve search engine position).

High Value Service

I really enjoyed working on this website and working with Pauline. And again I am proud to deliver on Starter Websites promise of high value for competitive prices. Visit Paulines site redesign at Kerry Photographer.

How would you like to save up to several hundred Euros per year (or sometimes per quarter!) on your web hosting costs?

Web hosting can seem like a mystery unless you actually work in the web industry yourself. Many business owners have not even be informed as to what web hosting is or why it’s required for their business. Keeping you in the dark and confused with half-answers or technical lingo is a good way to ensure you don’t ask too many questions or change your web hosting provider.

So What Is Web Hosting?

The Internet (World Wide Web) is a huge network of websites. In order for your website to be accessible on the network for people to view, your site needs to be hosted on a web server. Without web hosting your website is not accessible online.

I’m going to tell you something now that will make me even LESS popular with other web service providers. The fact is that many small brochure websites with less than 100 pages (usually with only 5 – 10 pages) are being charged anywhere between €250 to €500 per year for their web hosting in Ireland.

Sound familiar?

Maybe that was okay back in the good old days of the swinging 2000’s – but lets face it, the party is over. But some people still want to live the highlife and you’re the one footing the bill. I guess if you want to continue paying exorbitant web hosting charges you’re entitled to do so. But if you think that extra cash would be better spent on some other facet of your business then it’s time to take action.

Change Your Web Hosting To Starter Websites And Save €€€

From only €85 per year Starter Websites will host your brochure website. I’ll take measures to ensure you don’t lose your web traffic during the transfer (which is not uncommon) and I’ll set-up your emails in advance so you don’t miss any important messages. You’ll also have plenty of server space and bandwidth, far more than you’ll need. That annual fee also includes 365 days of web hosting support.

Does Your Website Qualify For This Offer?

This service is only for brochure websites comprising of 0 to 100 pages. I’m not currently accepting e-commerce websites or sites that rely heavily on database. If you think your site qualifies and you want to cut your web hosting costs (maybe by hundreds), then now is the right time to get in touch (before the next bill arrives!)

So hurry and make your enquiry now (see form below). Send me your website address and I’ll contact you shortly after that to confirm that your site qualifies for the transfer.

You have nothing to lose and possibly several hundreds of Euro to save!
