If you read through this thread from the very beginning, you will find information that will help you to CREATE A WEBSITE at very low cost or even FREE OF CHARGE.

The “BUSINESSBALLS” website might be useful to you.

You could try using ONLINE DIRECTORIES to directly contact some potential customers.

In the reply given to TAZUL on Dec. 10th in the following thread of the Forum, I indicated EARLIER POSTINGS that contain LINKS relating to GARMENTS TRADERS in the U.K., in the U.S.A., in CANADA, in FRANCE and in GERMANY, and I posted LINKS to web pages that provide the details of GARMENTS TRADERS in NETHERLANDS and in BELGIUM.

ONLINE DIRECTORIES for VARIOUS COUNTRIES have been indicated in some of the messages that I have posted since January in the following thread of the Forum.

Can you help me to get some good projects/Data Entry work/clients from Outside India/(US/UK/Australia/Canada etc) I have seen some thread and your explanation. But that's not enough to get work.

I have registered in http://www.va4u.com/s15vaghela like sites. But i didn't get any work from them. So please help me to get some good project/data entry work continously. Is there any reliable consultants to get works from Outside India? Please help me

Hello again Faiz.

Thank you for the reply.

I am not involved in this type of business, but in this Forum I regularly try to provide information that will be useful to Indian manufacturers.

At present, the best that I can do is indicate some web pages that contain lists of suitable companies for you to contact. That is what your competitors will be doing, unless they have contact with someone who can act as an AGENT for them in a foreign country.

By enquiring from retailers, you might be able to make contact with some useful WHOLESALERS and IMPORTERS.

On those “YELL.COM” web pages, you can type the name of any TOWN in the LOCATION box (in place of UNITED KINGDOM). Then click the SEARCH tab. You could try towns such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds, Southampton, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, Leicester, Nottingham and Dundee.

The following website provides the details of U.S. BUSINESSES.

http://www.bigbook.com

On that website, you will obtain better search-results if you add the name of a TOWN or STATE. The following web page will help you to do that.

The following thread contains some useful LINKS.

http://www.businesseye.org.uk/539334.html “ONLINE FASHION SITE!”

In addition to contacting potential customers in foreign countries, in India you should try to meet visitors who will act as AGENTS for you when they return to their home countries with some SAMPLES of your work. In your own area of the country, there might be some attractive places that are popular with the tourists. In addition, you might be able to display your products at some of the hotels that the tourists use.

Have you considered using the “EBAY” (online auctions) website? If you cannot offer your own products for sale on the site, you might be able to contact some of the traders who use that website to sell their products.

Traders who are already interested in items of this type will probably search for suppliers on websites such as the “INDIAMART” DIRECTORY. For that reason, you will need to contact a large number of traders and introduce them to the products that you are offering.

Hello again Mahbubur.

I am continuing to search for suitable FREE WEBSITES for you. So far, the best that I have found is “GEOCITIES”, but the name will be longer than you require.

REPLY TO A.K.M.

Hello A.K.M.

For plenty of detailed information, please read the reply given to LYNSEY on December 2nd 2006.

There are a quite a lot of providers (HOSTING COMPANIES) that offer FREE WEBSITES and TEMPLATES (to help you to design your own site). The services on offer vary from host to host, and you can usually obtain a better product if you pay for the website.

LYNSEY chose to use the following company.

http://www.moonfruit.com

Her website is at the following address.

http://www.pinkclover.co.uk

Another regular contributor to this Forum used “WEBEDEN” to host his website.

http://www.webeden.co.uk

Someone that I know used “GEOCITIES” to create the following website.

http://www.geocities.com/cveti_art/

Further information can be obtained from the following web page.

http://geocities.yahoo.com/

A provider of FREE WEBSITES was indicated in the information that I posted on June 20th.

You can choose any name for your website, provided that it is not already taken. You do not have to use the full title of your company. However, if you take a FREE WEBSITE, the name of the hosting company will usually be included in the name of your own site. For example, in the “GEOCITIES” address that I have given above, the name of the business is “CVETI ART”.

There will probably be a number of hosting companies in Bangladesh, and some of them might offer free websites and templates. Furthermore, if you intend to pay for a site, you will probably need to use one of those local companies. During the next few days, I will try to find the details of such companies.

Best Wishes.

Hi All
If you require a website such as an ecommerce site, try oscommerce.org it's free there are loads of free templates and it uses paypal for your website payments which again is free. Im am based in Caerphilly and just starting out, i found that oscommerce is highly configurable and well suited. Please feel free to check my site out at http://www.smokefluid.co.uk manufactures of smoke fluid, also bear in mind the site is active and currently taking payments "handle with care". If you would like any information regarding setting up, i would be more than happy to help FOC. Sorry to drone on but if anyone would like some server space for a small ecommerce site maybe to just try it out or who knows maybe long term drop us an email.FOC only for the business eye region Wales.

Dear Jack,

Thank you for your valuable advice to us in this site.

Would you please tell me, how i can built an website by free of cost ? If I have to use that website name in my site's propose name, it should be very small. for example, i may propose my website name - www.mahbub.com and that company name may be 'dk' (example). So it may be www.mahbubdk.com. Usually the free website provider's name is very large. Also I need the webpage with less advertisement, good design and more space. All should be free of cost.

Please advice. Thank you.
