The Village Websmith - Web Design & Development in Your Area

St Peter's School in South Weald has saved a substantial sum on printing and duplicating through enlightened use of its website.

With a new website for the new year, your school can really brighten up its image, always a help in attracting new parents. Not only that, used to its best effect, your website can replace much of the printed and duplicated material currently sent home with pupils or sent out by post.

Our School Already Has a Website and We Have No Budget!

No budget? No problem! With Webinthebox? from The Village Websmith, there is a new pay as you go option that dramatically reduces the cash outlay for a new website. For a typical school Webinthebox? site, such as St Peter's Primary School, South Weald, this costs just ?30 per month - a pound a day! OK, we ask for the first 6 months in advance, but then you pay nothing until month 7. That is purely because all our costs are incurred at the beginning of the process, so smoothing out cashflow helps us keep costs down.

Already got a website? No problem! Starting with a facelift, we can take over the management of your existing site, adding our own content management system, keeping the bits you like and updating the bits you don't like in the process.

Abenhall is a tiny, ancient village in a secluded quiet valley near Mitcheldean. The parish includes the settlement of Plump Hill, on the Mitcheldean to Cinderford Road as it climbs into the high Forest.

Once part of the Westbury Hundred (which was known as Dene at the time of the 1086 Doomsday book) Abenhall is on the Flaxley to Mitcheldean Road. Originally a mining and iron making centre, it is notable for its 14th century Church of St Michael, which is built of local red sandstone and has excellent contemporary carvings relating to the Forest of Dean's industries. These include a shield bearing the arms of the Freeminers on the west wall and the fabulous mid -15th century octagonal font, that has tools of miners and metalworkers incised on its St Michaels at Abenhall sides.

St. Michael's Church - originally built as a chapel of ease, the church was expanded in the 14th century to include nave, south aisle and tower. The arms of the Freeminers can be seen on the south side of the tower and on the 18th century font. St. Michael's Church - Abenhall is 1.5 km south of Mitcheldean and is set in beautiful surroundings on the edge of the Forest. Old Parish baptism, marriage and burial registers, from 1596, are stored at the Gloucestershire Record Office.

Welcome to Terrific Tuesday

Named from the Germanic god, Tiw, and associated with Mars. We aimed for the Moon on Monday, so let's ramp it up a notch and set our sights even higher today.

Midweek days are great for approaching new opportunities at work. If you are in business to business sales, customers will be over the Monday emergencies and focusing on the things they need to achieve in their own activities. You can help them, and all it takes is for them to know that. Introductory phone calls on Tuesday can be the most productive of the week so use spare time to call some people you don't know yet. There was a time when you didn't know the person who is now your best customer so who knows who you will get introduced to today?

Introductory calls are frequently ignored as a way of getting business for many reasons. Some people fear rejection. Some are unsure of how to open the conversation. Perhaps identifying the people to call is a problem. Identifying the objectives of the call can be a sticking point.

Whatever the reason for not doing this, the rewards that can be gained can make you glad you did it.

The Village Websmith's work isn't only about creating effective websites. Through workshops and seminars as well as networking groups, there is help and advice always available to get more value out of promotion via the Internet, telephone, email and press advertising.

Questions are our friends

While these mailboxes are very pretty, the image does raise a few questions:

• Why are 28 and 26 in reverse numerical order?
• What happened to numbers 22 and 24?
• What if someone goes on to build numbers 30 and 32?
