XFS 70 Posted March 14, 2017 Can anyone recommend a cheap and easy to use car dealer template? I don't need fancy, just easy to use, basic and functional. I only keep around 6 vehicles in stock. Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Bush 95 Posted March 14, 2017 Hi try 1&1 internet and set your own up from one of the templates. It's how I started off and you can get some professional looking results with a little time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 70 Posted April 25, 2017 I,ve tried a couple so far inc the 1&1 recommended, which is to complex and time consuming for me. If the one I,m trialing one right now works out I will report back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted April 25, 2017 Fasthosts are ok. I used them for a while before I moved over to Motors. Its nothing flash but you can have yourwebsite.co.uk email address which looks a lot more professional than yourwebsite@yahoo.com. or something similar. And I had about 3 pages of cars at 4 a page. Under a £10 a month as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grant8064 219 Posted April 25, 2017 Cardealer5 are ok. We used to use them based on costs and had approx 20 vehicles in stock. Really easy to use and quite presentable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justina3 518 Posted April 28, 2017 I knocked mine on the head last year, just didnt seem to get the attention it used to, when your on motors, gumtree ebay facebook there all set up for you so no work or faffing around, i havent noticed any customer fall off since i stopped.

Cathedral Automotive 2 Posted April 28, 2017 How are you finding the websites suggested?? Had a look at Fast Hosts as mentioned however it looks like a lot of upkeep to add/remove stuff all the time. I have spoken to Car Dealer 5 and very tempted to go that route, although their biggest selling point for me was the autofeed of new car adverts to eBay, AT etc. however to start with I am most probably going to use AT pay as you go so guessing it won't populate that format. Be interested to hear how your getting on? Si Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betginge 73 Posted April 28, 2017 We have designed our own website using wix. We used it for the auction businesses few years back with success. Ours is due to go live next week with the launch of or new pitch company. If you can use a platform like wix or fasthosts then its worth doing, save money and not have to keep updating via 3rd party.

Mikey 19 Posted April 29, 2017 The only problem with Wix that I found was that there wasn't really a proper car trader template, so adding and removing cars was quite labour intensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rspminilover 0 Posted May 8, 2017 Have you tried looking at People Per Hour, it is a cheap easy way to outsource this type of thing. Wordpress CMS is a bit tricky to get your head around at first, but once you do, it is definitely the easiest way to keep the website up to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landroverguy 0 Posted May 18, 2017 Would definitely go down the Wordpress/Premium motor trade template route. I know a bit so managed to set up myself but you could use one of the freelancer hire sites (people per hour, Freelancer.com, Elance.com) to do this for you. You could then get hosting for about £2.99 a month through https://www.vidahost.com/web-hosting Let me know if you need anymore help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
