As we all know nothing in life comes for FREE and although we try to keep the majority of our services free of charge to High Peak residents and businesses these services do come at a cost to us.

We do not insert or allow advertising on our site from 3^rd parties the likes of Google or other mainstream advertising agencies which would generate income for High Peak Today as this would be completely against what we are trying to achieve, which is helping local High Peak business and service providers raise their profiles and generate more business.

The services we do charge a small fee for are justified in the running and maintenance of the service we provide.

When you consider if you took all the options in the listing fields the total cost would be just £25 per year. A fraction of the cost charged by other directory sites for adding a logo with a link.

Where possible High Peak Today tries to obtain contra deals with local business to reduce costs, after all exchange is not robbery.
