Ian & Grahame Wilson (owners of this site) are brothers who come from Stockport, Cheshire. UK. They have been in partnership for quite some years now, running their business in antique bottles, glass and collectibles. In 1998 it was decided that it was time they were on the web. Web design seemed a rather expensive option, and it was decided that they should build their own site. A rather daunting task at first. The software was along with the PC and it started there. Long hours were spent at the computer, both by Grahame and his younger sister Denise, whilst they found their way around the computer.
Then it was time to find a host, there were many to choose from, all claiming to be the best, they chose one, a large reputable company, and there the problems started.
There were delays after delays, Ian and Grahame waited a long time for the "reputable company" to even register the site. Once they were up and running there were still more problems. E-mails to technical support were not answered, requests made to telephone support were ignored. Simple procedures too weeks, the whole thing was incredibly frustrating.
That's when an idea was hatched to host their own websites, as by this time Ian & Grahame had built their second site for Antique and Collectables, and were experiencing the same problems with set up and support.
What was needed was a host that was fast and friendly, and who better than themselves. It was time for them to get their own space and host their sites themselves. Very quickly friends and colleagues were keen to have websites designed, hosted and maintained by the Wilsons, and that's the story so far. You can visit the sites already built, hosted and maintained by visiting the clients sites page.
