If you are in Computer Repair, and you need a simple website, I have
put together a template you can download for free. It's simple design,
all the information on one page.

Details

Valid CSS, valid XHTML, loads quickly. What does that mean? Google
is going to index your website pretty high. I used a lot of keywords
to focus on your local area. All you have to do is set your city.
Google should have your website indexed as one of the top results for
the search "computer repair {city}". So, when someone searches
"computer repair {city}", your website should be in the top 5 or 10
spots.

If you need free hosting, visit http://awardspace.com. You can also
get a free short domain at http://co.cc. If you want your own .com,
you can get one for about $10/year.

For the domain, once again, I recommend using "pc-repair-{city}.co.cc"
to improve your index rank on Google. Use the keywords you think people
will be using to find your business.


To install:

Upload index.html, my-photograph.jpg, and the /css folder, all into the
same location.

To modify:

Open index.html in Notepad, or any Web Editor (Notepad++ is free), and
make these changes.


1. Edit the Title which appears between <title></title> tags.

Code:
    <!-- Meta Tags for Search Engines -->
     <title>Computer Repair Ottawa</title>
2. Edit the Meta Tags (appear under the <title></title>) with your relative
information. The Meta Tags are what Google sees when it visits your
website. Set your own Description, Keywords, Category, etc.

Code:
    <meta name="description" content="Ottawa, Canada: I am experienced technician. Offering affordable pc services. Repairs, installation, and new computers." />
     <meta name="keywords" content="pc repair, computer repair, ottawa ontario canada, fix my computer, build a new system, wifi home network, software hardware installation, virus trojan adware removal, backup, deleted file recovery" />
     <meta name="category" content="Canada: Ontario: Ottawa: Services: Computers: Repair" />

3. Overwrite the file my-photograph.jpg with your own image. I recommend
maximum width of 200px - if it's any larger, the column will stretch
(you can crop your image at pixlr.com).

Set the hyperlink URL of the photograph. I have it linked to my domain right
now. You can point it to a twitter account, facebook, myspace, whatever
you want.

Code:
            <!--
                 1. Link to your Facebook/Myspace profile.
                 2. Your photograph.
             -->
             <a rel="nofollow" href="http://euklid.ca">
                 <img src="my-photograph.jpg" alt="I am your computer repairman." />
             </a>
4. Update the date/time in the footer with your current time.

Code:
    <!-- // Open: Footer container. -->
     <div class="grid_12" id="footer">
         <p>This website was last edited on Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 9:00PM (GMT -5)</p>
     </div><!-- // Close: footer container. -->
5. Add your own body text, change phone numbers, change the contact
details. Make sure to change the hyperlink of the email address too.

Code:
<p>You can also email me - <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>. Please include a brief description of your computer problem or request.</p>
License

Free to use, edit, and redistribute as freeware. Not allowed to sell the
template itself for profit, but you can use the template on a commercial
website.

I created the template for Computer Repair, but you can use it for any
purpose.


Enjoy :D

Get your website noticed

Craigslist is a good place to post your services and allows you to link to your website.
And most large cities will have local directories where you can post your service/website
for free. Google "free {city} directory", "free {city} classifieds", "free {city} business
listings", "free {city} listings".

If anyone is going to get into the computer repair business, I came across
a website that might give you some structure. It's someone already in the
business of in-home repairs.

Check it out - http://www.tech2go.ca/Rates.htm

At Tech2Go there are no hourly charges, no ticking clock to swell the
bill if work takes longer than anticipated. Instead all services are charged
at a fixed rate, with costs explained in writing to each customer before
any work begins.

The fee for a Basic Service Visit is $79.95, which brings a technician
to your location to do a full diagnosis and prepare a formal Service
Recommendation. The Service Recommendation describes the
services recommended by the technician, and details the cost of each
item.

All services are charged in addition to the Basic Service Visit fee,
and are carried out only after customer approval of the Service
Recommedation.

No hourly rates. No ticking clock. And no surprises.

From my understanding, this means they charge $80 for an in-home
diagnosis of the problem. They write a report of the problem. Then the
customer has to pay additional for them to actually fix the problem,
and they might have to pay to buy new hardware.

It sounds like the route I might go with.

Don't trust "top 10" websites. They are fake, made by the people who
sell the hosting. Only way to know what is good is experience. You can
look for Hosting, and ask for suggestions, at http://webhostingtalk.com
