Making Plans for …
No, not Nigel; for myself & my business. I woke up this morning and had thoughts racing round in my head. Rather than sit in the office and be distracted away from them I took an hour and popped down to my local Costa to think & write. I sat in a corner table facing the bay, put on my headphones and wrote. I wrote about the direction I want Bay Web Designs to take in 2012 & the goals I want to achieve. I wrote down quick ideas for blog posts and articles that will help people...

Yikes, I was talking to someone yesterday and realised that it’s three years this month since I started trading. It’s been hard work, I have been discouraged at times but, this last year especially, things have got better and better. I want to celebrate my success somehow and have decided what better way than to help other start-ups achieve their dreams. You may have read about my Start-Up Package for new businesses – and if not why not? To give them an even better offer I am...

It’s cold, wet & windy outside but I am warm & cosy in my office. The sunshine of my day is being provided by my Twitter friends and also this lovely recommendation written by Maria on LinkedIn.

I loved the fact the Sharon provides different packages for start-ups and those, like me, who just wanted a no frills clear webpage. Being able to update and...

I recently answered some questions for Huddlebuy … 1. Tell us who you are and what your business does. I am a wife, mother & web designer and I always know where my towel is (hitch-hiker’s guide to the galaxy reference). I love helping people get the right website for their business and their clients. My main work is with start-ups and small businesses, usually creating their first website. I try and keep things as simple and non-tech talk as possible. 2. What...

Well, a lot less actually. In November Bay Web Designs will be celebrating its 3rd birthday. Rest assured there will be cake. Not sure how to mark this point in the journey. I was told once to give my business 3 yrs at least to see if it was viable. I am pleased to say it is. This year has been better than ever, I find I am getting all my clients via word or mouth or referral and I have been consistently busy all year. How do you mark epochs in your business? I would love to hear any ideas you...
