My own domain


This a little off topic but I was interested to find out that http://www.peterdoughty.co.uk/ was available as a domain name. At the moment Active 24 are trying to work out how to redirect to this blog from this domain. What did surprise me is how many domain names related to the law are still available having recently snapped up http://www.employment-barrister-direct.co.uk/ and other similar web addresses.

If you click on this link you are immediately sent to the employment team page on the 12 College Place website. Try it, it is like magic but more importantly for our business it will mean more hits on our website and hopefully more work.

I hope to have my own website up and running sometime this year. This website will be directed towards the public at large not just professionals so that I can take advantage of direct public access in the employment field.

For those who don't know about direct public access follow this link to the Bar Councils website: http://www.barcouncil.org.uk/guidance/publicaccessinformationforlayclients/

I am a convert. Any business that fails to make its mark on the Internet will be seriously damaged in the long term.
