Ethical living
4 Web-site designs & free domain names
Another hectic month, sorry for the delay in the newsletter reaching you. Therapypages has been an unprecedented success. We have been working night and day to keep up with the work-load and now have 5 agents working on our behalf all over the UK. This is very exciting as everyone working with us is enthusiastic and is improving the profile of TPS in their local and surrounding areas; while we at HQ are working on a national level.
TPS has had over 800 hits in the last month and we are no. 7 on Yahoo! when 'complementary therapy' was typed in. Credit card subscriptions will be available soon so therapists can subscribe direct on the net as well as a free service to 'send a hug' which is exactly what it says - send someone a hug via e-mail. Plans to have recipe and letter pages are also in hand.
Complementary therapy associations and societies are also coming on-board and in the next few weeks therapypages will have their full details on the directory pages and links to their web pages for a more comprehensive information service.
This month I have reviewed ethical living and will include books and music next month.
Next newsletter is due on 15th June 2000, copy date 31st May 2000.
Love
and light,
Tara.

Ethical living is on the increase, and so it should be. More and more people are aware of the environmental impact, animal testing, worker's rights and conditions involved with consumerism. So where do we go to shop ethically?
Ethical Consumer is a magazine that is available to the public that gives extension information about companies and their products. From cars to vitamins to cosmetics to pasta (Issue 64, Apr/May 2000), EC aims to give you the information behind the brand names so you can make an informed decision about your household purchases. The magazine can be viewed on-line and from there you can become a subscriber. They also have a search for you to look up ethical companies. www.ethicalconsumer.org

Here at Therapypages we can help you design and build your web site, and even more, can offer you a free .co.uk domain name as part of the cost of setting up your new site or refurbishing/maintenance on an existing one.
If you are not on the Internet at the moment then we would only be too happy to help you get on the "Net" and have a professional look to your web site name and Emails, rather than other Internet providers who give you a name of the following form yourname.someisp.co.uk. This can include help in purchasing a computer system that is right for you.
