What do you mean what do I want for $50 his words are and I quote

complete website design for only $50

They are not my words but his. I merely asked how many complete websites have three pages.

Under the description of goods act he could be taken to court for misrepresentation.

Say what you mean and mean what you say !

Well infact he says this "I am offering a 3 page website design for only $50"

Thats simple to understand.

You get 3 pages for $50 and thats it.

Sorry but his title says and once again I quotecomplete website design for only $50


Then you open up the thread and he has changed his mind now its not a complete website it's a three paged website.

Look at the title of the thread

Then you tell me if it's not misleading ?

It's called marketing. It obviously worked because you clicked on it. You can't take anyone to court on that. He explained what he was selling in the thread. The title just got you to read it.

So in the interest of marketing I take it that you tell your customers and I quote from your own website In Business everybody is seeking an advantage you just found yours that you are not really an advantage to your customers that was just marketing.


Now I am starting to see how this web thing works you just lie to people all the time Kool !! and there was me thinking that you must deliver to your customers what you say you will deliver but in the interests of marketing you just lie.


Kool, so then anybody wanna get this hosting package of me then ? As you can see I am just marketing it.

100.Trillion GB webspace
200.Billion GB Transfer
600.Million Email addresss's
20.Billion My sql Databases

And so on

KOOL !!

Bojangles, you're in the wrong business if you take this as lying. No one said lie. Wording in marketing is a huge thing. Now back to the thread. And YES we do deliever everything we say we'll deliever.

Now the title of the post said "complete website design for only $50 " Now, what's your definition for complete web site. Some sites are just three pages. To some a two page site is just a complete site and some go as deep as having 10 or more pages. He said COMPLETE!! And then he went further to clarify that he will give you three pages of it. This includes a main page and two other pages. So if you have a small site you will get an index page and maybe one content page and an about page or whatever you want to do with it.

The site will also include the images that make up the COMPLETE page. You have an option, either buy the template or don't. NO ONE IS LYING TO ANYONE! Have you ever head of the phrase "Read the fine print"? If AT&T said "signup today and get a free laptop" and you find out that you have to signup for three years with their service to get this, is it lying? NO!

So pick out any phrases you want from our web site but no one agrees with you.

BTY find a better example than this:
100.Trillion GB webspace
200.Billion GB Transfer
600.Million Email addresss's
20.Billion My sql Databases

It makes no sense and if you don't deliever that: YES you will be lying. Not the same.

Nice day!!

First and formost you seem to be the only one that disagrees.

Now onto another point I did ask(scroll up a bit and you will see) if there is such a thing as a complete website that consists of three or in your example two pages.

I'd love to see that site.

And in relation to the hosting package I was just marketing was I not ? Or do I have to put that in the title of the thread ? And when they click on it I say something like

Now we have your attention I am only giving away

one of everything is that marketing then ?

Just I am new to this marketing thing and want to make sure I get it right

folks!! it's simple!! he offered his services. $50 for a COMPLETE 3-page site design. Yes, he said "complete website design on $50" but I agree it is marketing.. How many times have you seen ads like "FREE DSL" and then it tells you a month or two free with a years subscription? There's no need to potentially damage a rep here. He did NOTHING wrong. And since noone is now relating to the original post about the product he offered at a reasonable price, I must say, it seems we have all wasted our time and for only one reason.. Our OWN opinions. I see ALL sides so PLEASE PLEASE don;t stat on me ;) . Just trying to see it through a jduges eye and not throught the eyes of the attorney for the plaintiff or defendant. You all are GREAT and honestly, the knowledge I have gained in just over a month is unbeleivable!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! :)

Read the thread and tell me who agrees with you. What did this guy do wrong? This is my last post on this matter, if you want to talk about marketing we can do that away from this thread. But actually I have better things to do. :)

Nice day.

I agree with "cahostnet" 100% and as for "bodyz" again he did nothing wrong.

His wording and and the way they are written is just fine and no harm done.

His post text says it all and states 100% in plain english what he is offering and at what cost.

Again, he is correct.

Agree also that it is a common method utilised for attention grabbing and in relation to the poster's intent, didnt mislead since complete can mean all inclusions, graphics, and so on.

Good luck bodyz in getting some customers :)

I personally do not see anything wrong with the way he got us all to look at the thread. As a consumer which are you going to read first? "Complete Website for only $50" or "3 webpage for $50" People like to see the word "Complete" start---finish. Look what verisign sells, they sell those 1 page "websites" and 5 page "websites" Sure they are both complete websites since that is all you are getting.. they push these as "complete".

If he lead us in here saying unlimited pages for $50 and then said 3 page maximum that would be wrong. But how many times does that happen everyday with hosting companies that say "unlimited or unmetered" bandwidth?? I see hosts offering things that really are never going to happen such as the BW issue.

If we can call this a legal issue I guess I will get a lawsuit pulled on me because when I surf chat rooms I am a 6'2" good looking surfer dude that makes $1million a year and I am looking for chicks to party with (just kidding I don't troll chatroom I was just making a point).

I have to agree that he did nothing wrong.

Well i thought i asked two questions .

1.Just out of interest can you show me a complete web site that only has three pages ?

2. Was the original poster being slighlty modest with the truth, because he said "complete web site" then refer to question 1.

Don't get me wrong I do not know or wish any ill feeling towards the original poster just thought when somebody said complete it means "COMPLETE" then I asked how many web sites have you seen that has three pages then another poster said some websites have two.

It seems though that nobody can show me these complete websites with two or three pages, so then is this person really offereing a complete website ?

It was just a questions guys don't be getting your keyboards in a twist.

According to some of the course's I have been on a website is that which has five or more pages anything less are just that web pages (now if this is true then the original poster is not offering a complete website he is offering three complete web pages) anyone care to enlighten me so I call tell my course supervisor that he is wrong ?

web·site or Web site Pronunciation Key (wbst)
n.

A set of interconnected webpages, usually including a homepage, generally
located on the same server, and prepared and maintained as a collection of
information by a person, group, or organization.

Usage Note: The transition from World Wide Web site to Web site to
website seems to have progressed as rapidly as the technology itself. The
development of website as a single uncapitalized word mirrors the
development of other technological expressions which have tended to
evolve into unhyphenated forms as they become more familiar. Thus email
has recently been gaining ground over the forms E-mail and e-mail,
especially in texts that are more technologically oriented. Similarly, there has
been an increasing preference for closed forms like homepage, online, and
printout.

http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=website

So, you "usually" need a home page, if so it will be part of a set.

Set of darts,

Set, not pair.

Wow, this thread went to hell. Thanks to all your guys' immature biqouring, no one got $50 and no one got a 3-page website (complete or otherwise). Nice job guys. What a waste of time.

Thread-starter: Nice offer. I suggest you start a new thread and get rid of all this crap. You may get some business. Good luck!
