More to the point, as a result of our search marketing work we have partnerships with several local web design agencies and have a team of freelancers too, so can work with whichever development route best fits your budget.<br /><br />Some, but not all, platforms are SEO friendly which is worth bearing in mind from the start, as it the ability to cross sell, search, sort and filter effectively and integrate email and PPC campaigns, vouchers and associated marketing strategies.<br /><br />I'd be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail and can be called on 07956 990 216 or by email to anthony@marketappeal.co.uk.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Anthony Sharot<br />http://www.marketappeal.co.uk</p> <p>On 08:59:12 30 July 2008 ChloeThomas1 wrote: </p> <blockquote>I'm shopping around for suppliers who can provide a simple e-commerce site for under £10k.
