About Dave Alston...
Dave is located in Lancaster, Lancashire. It's not far from the Cumbrian town of Alston itself which is the highest town in England, Great Britain. However, David Alston's business alliences are worldwide and compliment his core consultancy competencies of copywriting and direct response marketing.
Originally Dave worked as a consultant for a web design agency in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. He then went on to establish his own web design business which he sold after five years in November 2005. This was to a client from New Zealand who had earlier bought his web design book called “The Hidden Truth About Web Design”.
He now concentrates fully on web consulting and copywriting.
Dave can also connect you with various marketing specialists from UK, USA, Germany and India that he partners with or has used successfully, some since 2000. They can expertly handle areas such as programming, SEO, web design or even print and fulfilment services on your behalf. Meanwhile Dave can help put your marketing strategy together, write copy or design sparkling advertising for you.
