Hi guys! Just wanted to get some opinions. As some of you might know I am based in the UK. How much do you think I can sell a website like this for?

  • A hyphenated domain with no authority?

    I suppose you could recover your losses. $10USD
  • I tried to get into domain name sales years ago. Lost hundreds.

    the only opportunity I see if you have the money is buying high value domains that are 10k+ and trying to flip them for a couple grand more.
  • I think he means selling websites like that on other domains for clients.

    In which case $299 to $999 would be my guess as it looks very basic.

    Right clients maybe a few grand with some customization.

    EDIT: If you do mean the actual site. I doubt you will get more than a few quid. It's a horrid domain. and the site is way too basic. The only value would be in the domain and IMO it doesn't have much.
  • Sell the site as is? Really? It has an SEO related domain name and it looks a site for a home builder or something. Maybe put SOME effort into this and you'll get a few dollars (or pounds).

  • Yea Aaron Doud! You are right. I am looking to sell websites like these to clients on other domains... Do you think I can sell these for 250 - 500 pounds each? I am now selling them at 250 but have not done any sales so far.

    • As long as you can sell that should not be a problem. A basic website is needed by many and has a value right in that range.

  • I would most definitely completely change the layout and look of the site before considering selling it. Right now, I would pay nothing for that site. It looks like a lot of work and since it's hyphenated, I am going to assume there is another site called seoagencylondon.com.
  • I am trying to sell to the construction niche.. For 250 - 500 i think it seems quite a good deal. Thanks for your response though
  • why dont you test it on here .

  • Give them away for free and charge for the hosting? Set one up for different niches and build them up to rent them out once proven or sell the leads you generate? I think those are the best ideas for a very basic site like that.

    • Everyone's saying how basic it looks - but what else might a joiner or roofer or similar need? It's got their phone number at top, a contact form, a slider to show off some work, social media links and testimonials. No frills maybe but does that matter?

      I'm curious to know what the more experienced of you would add or change.

      P.S. Responsive or mobile version would be good as well.

  • I wouldn't pay more then $50 for it.

    You need to add more value to it. Is it already generating leads? Does it rank well in Google for certain keywords? Is the theme related to the industry (not right now it isn't)?

    All this plays a role in a domains worth. If you're just talking about the actual domain name value, personally I tend to shy away from any hyphenated domains, as I'm always trying to build a brand and I don't like hyphens in my brand.

    • Even $1 is too much.
      Just let the domain expire -- it's pretty terrible.

  • i DON'T tHINK tHE sITE HAS anything to give but i will Advice you to try flippa as it is the best marketplace for websites and domains right now.
  • Hummmm, so kpmedia is an idiot. You asked what we would be willing to pay for your site. He said $1, that's his opinion. Personally, I think he's off a bit. Maybe $9 or so.

    When you ask for people's opinion be ready for some blasts. If you don't want honest answers then go ask your mommy instead. She'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy, but that won't help out your evaluation process.

    • I suppose neither one of you read the thread. He wasn't talking about the domain but a ready built website for different businesses.

  • Either way. I can buy something much nicer on ThemeForest if I want designs.
    Even some of the free ones aren't bad.
    This needs a lot of work. The fonts size/spacing, for example, is a mess.

    As far as reading goes, the thread OP didn't specify domain vs. design. His own fault.

    • While it wasn't the clearest he did say...

      I understood it and others did. The key was watching for the subtle like this.

      Overall I agree that he could use a better theme to create a much better experience for the end user.
  • This thread is officially a big fat LOL....

    But on a more serious note, here's my advice. I like to think of websites like videos, we realize how important they are and how priceless they are when comparing them to a picture. That is what you have to sell a priceless experience. While you have done a very good job on the technical aspects of the site, by providing a contact form, menu, slider, and good footer, the problem is its flat out ugly. You see, a website is not just to provide a convenient communication system for your clients customers, but it is also to make your clients look good, look like a brand, in front of their customers. Take advice from warriors here and use themes that make it easy on you to create sites and that also make it a more enhanced product for your clients.
  • hi guys! thanks for all your suggestions. I have started developing a new site... please thell me how it looks and what changes i can make.. it is not completed yet... http://test4.seoagency-london.com/

    • I think it looks good. If you compare it to the $15,000 site or even the $2,000 sites that were given in an example above, its not that bad. What I mean is its not that much different from those sites that basically just used templates as well. those other sites do have the edge on graphic design and layout so I guess this small difference, makes the huge difference in cost.

      I can build one of those sites that looks like it took me 3 months to design and charge 15k when really it took a day to build. the 4 examples above posted by iAmNameLess that were given, 3 of them are themes that were purchased on Themeforest.

      Basically all you have to do is buy a $55 dollar business theme, get some pictures and graphics made for it, and sell it for $800 or more.

    • You still need a better theme, Ultimatum isn't going to cut it.
  • Listen, it's not about just buying the most expensive theme. I can do SEO and get pretty good results, but it takes me forever and I hate it. I can code the back end of a site from scratch, but it takes me forever and I hate it.

    I can make a damn good looking, converting, and functioning web site through wordpress in a relatively short period of time. I enjoy designing, and I'm pretty good at it.

    Guess what I spend my time on? I pay other people to handle my SEO, and do any hard-core coding if a client needs a certain particular functionality. If you're good at SEO, then pay someone else to design the site for you. Both of these examples are all kinds of terrible from a design standpoint. If you want these to look professional, get someone else to do it. If not, these are the $99 type sites I see offered all of the time on Craigslist. Not trying to be a prick, just being honest.

  • Ron,.. until you do something specific with that site such as adding more valuable content, design, logos and some offer or call to action then I'll bet you London to a brick you won't sell it for squat!

    • Some great, honest advice.
    • Hey Russel,

      Thanks for you opinion. But its been about 6 months now since I have posted this thread and I have actually sold websites like that to people. Also I have learnt over time and have much improved on the design part of things.

      Giving people your opinions is fine, but I would rather not discourage someone as you never know what situation they are in
