Happy New Year everyone!

The first of January always gets me thinking of the past and the future, so I decided to grab a few moments to write a little about my beloved business – Starter Websites.

Starter Websites History

Starter Websites started life in 2008 as a ‘side project’ for a company I was previously a partner in. I was enthusiastic about Starter Websites from the start and constantly strived to improve value for customers and develop the suite of web solutions on offer.

Starter Websites was different as it was one of the first web design sites in Ireland to advertise website products (web packages) with their prices. The purpose of this was to provide potential clients with enough information to make an educated decision on whether the service was right for them and their budgets.

Up to this point people were being quoted wildly different prices from web design firms. This pricing strategy led to confusion and mistrust, something Starter Websites was to avoid.

In December 2008 I finished with my previous company and took over Starter Websites as a separate business and commenced trading from March 2009. My goal for the year was to revamp the website, improve it’s offers and establish a solid base from which to build a sustainable business. The later being the most difficult to achieve as the recession deepened and the already competitive web industry went into overdrive.

By keeping my ‘vision statement’ in mind (see below), Starter Websites survived 2009 and prospects for 2010 look promising.

The goals for Starter Websites in 2010 are simple:

1. Add more value for clients
2. Turn a profit
3. Fine-tune existing packages and develop additional packages
4. Keep it simple

1st January is my favourite day of the year. It’s a time to reflect on the previous twelve months and to start planning for the year ahead. It’s like starting with a clean slate but with the added advantage of another 12 months experience – and what an experience the last 12 months was! .

I wish you and yours good health and success for 2010.

Regards,
Peter.
