A Public Service Announcement

This thread is here for anyone to plug brand-new websites.
I'll read it, so you'll get at least some marketing/exposure out of it...

I'll start the ball rolling: www.roggle.tk, which hosts my latest software freeware stuff (including a rather nice screensaver).

    Dunny - there must be something wrong with your firefox. It works fine for me (unfortunately)

    I build an average of one new website a week. Sometimes two. What, exactly is the point of this thread?

    As karingal said above, you're only 14 and you own a company. Does it have an entry on the companies register? Is it a public or private limited company? How many people are on the board of directors? And (finally), what is your company's registered number? :)

    I'm not an expert on accounting or company law or anything, but I'm sure you have to have all of the above things for it to legally be called a company.

    I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me though.

    Necros.

    In the UK, in order for a business to be called a company it has to be registered at Companies House and is bound by certain legal requirements. This is due to the company being a seperate legal entity to its members. Unincorporated businesses do not have this benefit so do not have to be registered.

    There is no company of this name registered at Companies House.

    That's why I said 'nascent' - I haven't registered it, or done the legal stuff, yet but am trying to publicize the collection of free demoware which is available there, to which I am adding all the time.

    I'm 14, I have plans to make a software company, I'm distributing demos hosted at a friend's site www.roggle.tk

    Happy now?

    "Adverts - anything Speccy you'd like to promote..."

    Alfa-soft is not Speccy stuff (yet).

    So Adverts is not the right forum.

    That's why I posted in Chit Chat.

    Do you know how many times I have to clean up the mess left by wannabe 'web designers'? (ooh, I built a website, I can run a business now).

    Aparty from the diabolical crap left behind, there is also the damage to the industry and trying to build confidence back for a ripped-off customer.

    Plus, by advertising yourself illeagaly as a limited company, you are implying that you will invoice the customer, have insurance, etc..

    Fortunatly, there are two other things to consider for the prospective client. Firstly, your own site is crap. I mean crap to the highest degree of crapness.

    Secondly, the stupid prices.

    I fact, I feel so strongly about your illegal activities that I have no option but to report you for fraud, and to your ISP.

    Very confident about your 'companys' future aren't you?

    Have you read up on The basic legal requirements for a company, I suspect you haven't otherwise you wouldn't be publically advertising it

    What the fuck is this?! I don't understand any of this. I mean no disrespect but do you not perhaps think you're fraternising the wrong forums? I don't think I've ever seen you make a spectrum related post in all your time here. I just don't understand what you want. I'm afraid that my intellect only goes as far as making the eyeball crush in Trap Door, anything harder than that and it's complete meltdown.

    I just think you're directing your efforts to get recognised down the wrong avenue. It's wasted on us. Try your school's physics teacher. I know mine was wonderful, he taught me everything there is to know about the Ohm.

    Bye then.

    Fuck me, that's a bad site.

    Two popups opened (which *have* to open or you don't see the site), and it put the words "Hutch Hat" into my google search bar.

    Sorry, staying *right* away from this one. Begone, dickhead!

    No, I'm never happy. But that aside, there is no recognition under UK law for an "almost" company or a "maybe one day, if I ever get round to it but I am suffering with sciatica at the moment and my wife has eaten the last of my milk chocolate hob nobs" company. A company either exists or it doesn't. Yours doesn't. And I wouldn't even describe it as nascent as it is not just coming into existence. For a company that would be when Form 10 is completed to register the company and prior to the paperwork being processed at Companies House. You may have a business coming into existence or an idea of what you want to follow but until the legal requirements for a company to exist are followed, then it is only a business and not a company. This is without even going into the question of whether a company is the most suitable form of trading medium, which is unfortunately something people tend to consider after incorporating without quite realising the consequences of it.

    from the bio

    Ben has wrote a book called ?The Day the World Died?, where all adults on Earth have perished due to a virus and children must survive. The book details the main character?s inolvement in a war between a federation of villages and a town, then his contributions in the surving government?s council, invading a nearby town and finally civilisation?s further decay as Flu hits the remaining populus.


    You should have called this, 'the tribe' and pitched it to an australian producer, Channel five might have eventually picked it up and put it on saturday morning tv. :)

    Finally, does it REALLY matter if the company isn't registered?

    Sure, if following the law matters to you.

    I've only just read this thread and one thing has come to mind.

    In the time it has taken me to read it I could have purchased an off the shelf company for less then ?20. Give me another hour and you can have the name you want so long as it hasn't already gone.

    Just to confirm I'm not AY Chip and I have no idea why you get a blank screen, also if you get pop-ups the remedy is quite simple, configure your browser to block them and your firewall. Finally, does it REALLY matter if the company isn't registered? I'm sure AMSTRAD existed for quite a while before it was registered-I can think of others. It isn't fraud. It's a bit of fun. I would really worry about more things than a tiny business whose profit so far has been zero.

    1. It is not a company.
    2. I don't know anything about Alan sugars early days. My guess is that he wasn't that stupid.
    3. The first time you take a customer under false pretences, it is fraud. And you also have to inform the inland revenue. They are not nice people.
    4. It might be a bit of fun for you, but supposing the people you claim to be able to build a website for are relying on your expertise to get their legitimate business off the ground? They have limited funds and are forced to take the cheapest (and in your case the crapest) option? Can you give them the best advice to make the most of their first step into an online presence? What about SEO? Or do you just take the money and put two fingers up to them as they go bankrupt?
