    Help naming my web design business

    I think the traffic that you have driven here @Farley93, (between your 2 threads/topics) is going to be more than any of the Wordpress sites you install, or maybe even all of the installs combined!? ALL THAT ADVICE that (it seems like) you have disregarded is astonishing!!

    Ya. It's defo run its course. The OP got plenty of advice & constructive criticism. Definitely enough food for thought, to set him on his way for now. :rolleyes: Was a lively discussion and a good reference for someone else in the future. **I've given all the advice i can give on this.

    Logo design

    I recently started a contest for my business logo at www logotournament dot com. I had 80+ entries to sift through and was very insightful indeed. I don't know if you're still looking, but if you are then I would definitely give it a look. And to echo @makeusawebsite's point... If you're not...

    Hi Hazel, I will soon be bringing my own website back online... after a lengthy absence due to over-commitments, (my own "enthusiastic at the time" problem!) which I'm slowly in the process of delegating off to other people. I may actually reach out to you for some more information, regarding...

    ""In my mind it's the perfect package and, like I said, I'm genuinely struggling to see what the problem is with my plan. Surely it makes sense."" I don't think there an issue with your plan at all... there is definitely a space for it, and I'd like to see how you go down this path. It was a...

    OK.. i'm off my soapbox now! ;) While i agree that some clients wont "care" that their site is primarily theme based... its good to throw a little bit of a twist into each theme. YOUR own personal twist... maybe thats pushing a new angle on the Social Media tactic?, throwing in a custom slider...

    Read this (what you wrote) over and and over again... ""I feel like I could study web design, coding and graphic design and I STILL wouldn't be able to come up with a site as good as the themes I use. I could go to university for 4 years and even then wouldn't be able to."" You need to change...

    Hey, I totally agree with Shaun_Pearce on this. You are Sales and $$$ focused. That's error number 1. Take some time to develop some WP skills and see HOW Wordpress works before you start offering a service. If all you do is reach out for technical assistance when you need it, then you are now...
