Naming my Business

[HelenBuckley]

I'm currently doing a NES course and I'm wanting to set myself up as a web designer. My tarket market is the creative industries (bands, musicians, artists, writers, etc).

I named the business "Pegasus Web Services" very early on in the course, thinking to offer hosting and domain registration alongside the web design. I've now decided against this because it's a saturated market.

I'm wondering whether or not to change my business name to better reflect by target market and would like others' opinions.

Business names:

1. Pegasus Web Services (current)
2. Showcase Design
3. Showcase Web Design
4. Helen Buckley
5. Other suggestions?

How about these to reflect the creative industry theme not sure if any of them are taken but:-



1. Creative Mind Web Design
2. Mogul Web Design
3. Instrumental Web Design
4. Hidden Talent Web Design
5. Gifted Web Design

Hope they help you

Regards

Craig

I thought of flairwebdesign (play on fair and creative) but the .co.uk is gone .com still there

HB Creative Design perhaps? if you like to keep your initials/ name within the company.

 

[Spiritus]

So my "Bohemian Design" idea is too late to pitch ?

 

[Adam H]

HBDesign, HBuckleyDesign, HBDevelopment, Helenscreativedesignwebsite.co.uk

 

[HelenBuckley]

Oh, that's a really good one too, but sadly yes.

"Creative Mind" was just too good to pass on I'm afraid.

 

You should probably grab your own name for a blog site.

I have a personal blog on LiveJournal so I'm not really interested in having my own name (plus it'll just be filled with craziness...)

I downloaded Wordpress last week, so if I decide to have a business one I'll use that on the new site.

Talking of the new site, there's been a slight delay on the design front since Paintshop Pro decided to break on me. I've had that program for ever and I'm really quite sad.

And I'm having to learn Photoshop very quickly.
