Tough one to answer. It really depends on the core functionalkity you require and what you would like your website to perform. How many web pages do you require? Will your website be an eCommerce platform? Other add ons will affect the cost of your website also which may include domain registration, web hosting, ssl cetitifcates and dns hosting.

Think of this from your customer point of view.  How can your potential customers differentiate a fraudster website from a genuine website? Does fraudster website normally has a physical address on it?  What would your customer think if they can't find an address on your website?  

You certainly don't need a physical address for a website but if are selling something on your website and you want to attract more customers, you should have one.

Hi Micha,

It is possible to engage some consultants and agencies on a fixed fee irrespective of the role. There are some agencies that have a service model where they change 5k for example to fill a permanent admin role.

Zoho is a good middle of the road CRM which can do a lot out of the box reliabily. Pipedrive CRM is sales focused, so lacks many other core features your will expect and need from a CRM.

You probably don't want one, and you may not even need one if you can fill out forms on your own, but it is a case of better off having one and not needing one, rather than needing one and not having one.

I think it comes down to the hip-pocket nerve. All you need to get is a few people bragging about how much money they're saving using solar compared to grid electricity. A simple ad campaign that opens with a family on holiday for the fifth time that year. Some wait staff grumbling that they're "sun worshippers" - they chase good sunny weather thanks to solar energy savings. The environmental impact is not so big a deal in this country, since grid electricity is so expensive.

Create a product or service that lots of people want. If you find out how people are feeling just before they need your product you can work out how to provide information that will help them solve their problem. Then, when they are solving their problem, they'll come to you to solve it.

Using Social Media and a PR campagain pre-supposes that you know your customer really well... if you don't, it'll be money wasted.

There are several ways:
- A name that describes what you do (perhaps based on company values, etc.)
- Join two words together to create something unique (and memberable) e.g. BlueChilli
- A random, made-up word.

I'd avoid names based on your name simply because it can be a limiting factor in the future if you're not a lawyer or accountant.

Each has benefits and disadvantages.

I hope this helps.
