Can I ask what the opinion is for an email address for your website.
Is it better to have, for example.....
info @lovlyproperty.com
rather than
lovlyproperty @hotmail.com?
Do you think the former would make enquirers feel more secure about booking than the latter, or does it not really matter?

I believe the former is more professional, yes. Since e-mail is often the first point of contact with a potential client, the actual e-mail address does matter.
I think it's more important to be friendly and polite (but not too formal) and use proper grammar when writing the e-mail, though.
Cheers!

Many people would think 'businesses' with a hotmail address are cheapskates, and so the goods/services that they buy from them would also be cheap. Also, a hotmail person could just disappear with your money and would be very difficult to trace them - at least with a 'proper' e-mail address, they should be officially registered with some domain?

We've got a really complicated email address so I can't possibly advise .... but people do seem to manage to click on the email link.
Must admit that I wasn't aware of the problems with a "hotmail" address before I joined the forum.
