Re: UKNM: New subject - Can you advise?

ahh... views on the site... 


<non-flippant and constructive tone> What is the point? </nonflippant tone

etc> 


well, maybe that's a bit harsh it's probably still worth london electricity

doing a shiny brochure site full of info for business customers and, more

importantly, The City.


but aiming such a site at consumers is an waste of time unless you provide

some reason *why* they should come to the site (bill payment, inputting

their meter reading etc) 


consumers are just starting to shop around for gas / electricity (and soon

phone) suppliers, and I strongly suspect that they are shopping around on

price alone (see http://www.buy.co.uk/utilities/gas/index.html )


There's not a bad article on this week's NMA buy Mike Butcher about the

importance of actually putting something useful on your website


but then, as stef says, i thought most people had realised this in 96
