WWDC: Describe how your team interact and work together.
Lush Creative Design: ”As we are only a small company we can make sure everything we promise we can do, we can do. We like to work closely with clients on a personal level whilst at the same time in a professional manner. In the unlikely hood of us not being able to create something for our clients we will ask the client if they would like us to pass that part of the work onto an expert we know, whilst at the same time no charging extra.”

WWDC: What makes you different from other web design companies?
Lush Creative Design: ”We like to undercut other website design companies on price to make us the best value. We make sure our clients are fully happy at every single stage of the process and won't go ahead with anything big without speaking to our clients about it. We speak to our clients on a personal note to ask they what they require, if we produce something they don't like we are more than happy to change it to something they do like. We never ask for the full amount of payment until the client is fully happy with the work we have produced for them.”

WWDC: How do you get the majority of your business?
Lush Creative Design: ”We normally source our work from word of mouth from our current or previous clients. We already have a strong client base and love new clients being added to our fast growing portfolio. We promote ourself through our main website along with creating sub sites to help us reach higher on google ranking through SEO, from us new clients contact us direct, we are pleased when a client emails us and we always do our best to attend to their requirements and questions, we like to have a friendly response when we are contacted.”

WWDC: What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
Lush Creative Design: ”Making sure the client is happy with us and the work we do for them is our main aim when it comes to having a good client relationship, we feel if our clients our not happy they should openly let us know as we will happily address any matters they have, we like to give our clients a personal relationship with personal contact details for us, we also stay professional throughout.”

WWDC: How do you manage demanding clients?
Lush Creative Design: ”We like to fulfil their needs step by step, for example if they want a high end website we will first design a professional outline for the website and make sure they are fully happy with that before focusing on the smaller details such as images, related media, social intergration and video. We feel if we break it down this way we don't miss anything out that the client wants, and we make sure they are happy at each stage of the process.”

WWDC: If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
Lush Creative Design: ”We would ask them their requirements and budget and if we can 100% meet what the client wants, then we wouldn't push the client to choose us but we would advise them that we can do the job professionally and quickly and work with them throughout. We normally beat most quotes from other website design companies so hopefully our services will be more appealing to them.”

WWDC: Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
