Wanted: Website Review lawforums(dot)co(dot)uk

[nikki-h]

Hello,

I'm thinking of selling this website, I wonder if anyone could give me an appraisal please?

 

[accelerator]

I can't give a particular valuation but people will buy websites based on a multiple of revenue. There are some threads on that in this forum.

Thanks for your reply Accelerator. It'd be great if someone could give me a ballpark though, based on this information. Please?

1500-1750 visitors ? it looks like you have a problem making them stick,the site needs tidying and the header as gone awol,if you really do have that amount of traffic i would pay a good forum designer a wad of cash to build you a site on it,because it has value in it's current state but would be worth tenfold if you worked on it.

Mark,

The header has gone awol? What browser are you using? It's fine ie6/7/8 ff3 safari4 chrome2?

That's the point of me selling it, I don't have the time or patience to work on this site. I set it up when I was doing my degree, I'm now full time employed and don't want to stare at a PC monitor all night as well as all day.

i get ?

 

[nikki-h]

new one on me ^^

which browser are you using?
(cheers for the pic btw)

forums can be very hard to sell as you are not selling something that will just sit there and make cash, serious volumes of hard work have to be put to make it successful and to keep it that way, therefore in its current position with the volume of work required to monetize, refurb and run I personally dont feel its worth a lot, perhaps high £xx tops.

Just an honest opinion.

please see stats for the past six months @ lawforums(dot)co(dot)uk/stats.png.

@ orchardapple - The VB license alone cost that

 

[orchardapple]

Oh didn't realise it was a commercial script.

Tricky to put a figure on it, what are you looking for? not trying to engage a sale, just your thoughts on what its worth to you

Would you rather let it go for a low figure mindful of your lack of time to urgrade/run

Or a higher figure which may mean you have to put some medium long term efforts in to raise the profile and make is more valuable until such time a buyer meets your valuation etc.

 

[nikki-h]

Thanks for your reply.

I think I'll be better placed to answer that question when my direct advertising deal goes through next week. I'll let you know

 

[retired_member32]

i would not let it go for less than £500,if that traffic is 1500-1750 i would hold out till the market picks up,good luck with the sale

I've posted stats for the last 6 months at lawforums(dot)co(dot)uk/stats.png for anyone who's interested.

The market isn't great for selling at the moment then?

 

[retired_member32]

as low as a snakes belly low....what was labours title song when they came into power ? dream and "things can only get better"

yeah right

not until labour exit stage left it won't....

 

[jimm]

You would make life easier and make a sale more likely if you answered PMs

 

[nikki-h]

Jimm,

Very sorry about that. I've had a lot of people asking me for a price, but without an appraisal I had no idea how to respond

Bit of an update re: revenue, the banner advertising deal went through, so that's £60 p/m guaranteed for the next three months.

Any offers? Should I put it to auction perhaps? Any advice extremely welcome!

Cheers
Nikki
