Being very passionate about using local producers of goods & services, and having successfully run local community newspapers since 1987, that served the community with local news, travel, free classifieds, competitions plus much more I now realised that the local community could gain all the benefits, without moving away from their own computer.
When I started my first newspaper, I soon realised how important & satisfying it was to be part of the local community and by taking a real interest and getting involved in the day to day events & happenings in the area. I soon made new friends both commercially & locally and formed a bond of trust that they could safely leave their requirements in my hands. This made me proud to be part of the community especially when they achieve fantastic results…

PROVIDING THE BEST MIX AND FACILITIES LOCALLY
The site is designed to be more personalised for the end user ( i.e. YOU) and will welcome them by name each time they log in. The user also thinks of “your” local dentist, “your” local butcher etc. By being locally based, and not run by a large faceless corporation, it helps the end user feel more confident that the information provided about local products and services on the site is current and up to date. That’s another reason why it’s run by local people for local people. A local person has a far greater in-depth knowledge and more of a vested interest in their community.
When they log onto Your Homepage they are logging onto a lifestyle that gives them the most updated commercial information in your area.
Just a few of our many examples of excellent customer feedback.

“We have had a great response from yourhomepage web business directory. Within just a few weeks we have gained a lot of business from larger properties dotted around the New Forest – all of whom have not had a window cleaner for years. Added to this we receive regular enquiries from property management companies as we are capable of cleaning to heights up to 60 feet. Great value for money, useful advertising which we will definitely keep up.”
