Stop spam to your email

Spammers get email address by using special programs to find them on web sites. They then send spam to them that try and sell you things. This can be very irritating as you often open your email only to find hundreds of Spam emails you don’t want.

To stop spammers finding your email address on your web site replace your email address with an image that has your email address written in it. Then make that image a link to your email address, like below.

email@website.co.uk

The actual email address is an image, you can tell because you can't highlight the text. But if you click on it works like a normal email text link.

Spammers programs can’t read images so they won’t be able to find your email address and spam you.
