I find that even where sites have an email address, somtimes they don't respond, so end up phoning anyway (but not at 10pm).

I must be pretty lucky then as out of all the many sites I have ever emailed ,only one never responded ... so I just booked somewhere else!

IF you are going to have a website and email contact you MUST respond and keep it up to date ,else what's the point ?!

East Fleet in Weymouth was my ideal ! fab website and online booking system,done and dusted easy as pie  oh and they have a facebook page to keep up to date on news / offers too

IMO it's a crazy decision for anyone who runs a business, no matter what size, to not have any web presence. They almost certainly lose out on potential customers. It doesn't have to be an all singing dancing web page, (or pages). A simple one page site (perhaps containing  a price list, contact details and one or two photos), or maybe a facebook page, is far better than no web presence at all. Whether it's a secondary line to the main business or not, surely the more custom they get the better?

I think it's crazy because it's a business. I understand your point about a lifestyle choice, but surely if you run your own business you want to maximise profit?

My personal opinion is all sites should have a website and you should always be able to book online, having to phone them or send an email enquiry is time consuming and usually by the time I've written it, I've already found another site and booked online.

I could be missing out on some great sites because of this, but also they could be missing out on some good custom because you cant book online.

Lets hope they move along with the times pretty sharpish.
