All about e-mail

I'm stuck with my current e-mail address - right?

Well, no, not exactly! There's lots of options to consider with e-mail addresses and we may be able to give you some help or advice so that you can decide what to do.

Old or New?

You probably already have an e-mail address (but don't worry if you haven't) and you need to decide before your site goes live if you are happy to stay with your current address or not. If you decide you are happy with it - thats fine, keep it! But if your e-mail address is something like David47@UKispco.net does it really promote your business? Wouldn't it be more meaningfull if it was something like DLemon@Wesellfruit.co.uk (or whatever) or GSmith@MyCorpco.com ? Also, using an ISP issued e-mail address tells your clients you are a VERY small company.

New e-mail Addresses

If we are registering a domain name for your web site then this is the best time to think about using more meaningful e-mail addresses. As well as an address for you and each of your staff think about Sales@Mycompany.co.uk or Info@Myorganisation.com or maybe even mail names like 'bookings', 'memberships' or 'quotes'. You can choose more or less whatever makes sense for your company, not an arbitary name allocated to you by an ISP.

E-mail forwarding

If you want to carry on using your current mail name (after all, some of your clients already use it) but think that you should have a new name anyway then we can arrange for mail sent to your new address or to your 'sales' address to be forwarded on to your current address. You won't even need to change the set-up on your PC. If you use this facility carefully you can give the impression of being a much bigger organisation than you are.

Forms

Some people might prefer not to disclose their actual e-mail address on the web site. For a small extra charge we can create a form instead for your customers to fill in and send. The system will process the information collected and send it on to your private e-mail address. You can then choose how (and if) to contact the sender.

Web mail

Even if your current ISP doesn't provide the ability for you to read your mail through a browser (so you can read your mail at an Internet café or from any Internet connected PC) we can probably set this up for you. (A small charge may be required.) It might be important for you to just be able to skim through your mail whenever you are away on business or away from the office for a few days. Call for details.
