I run a small bed and mattress retail business that supplies direct to the hotels via online advertising that now needs an e-commerce website. I already have a basic website. As well as fast delivery, we provide a more personal service (no big departments: more scope for personal customer service etc). Overall a friendly business that offers really good prices on products.
