Interview
WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Professional, Personal, Creative, Knowledgeable, Reliable”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”The same as we are now really, just to more clients and with more staff. We will never lose our personal touch ethos and we will never stop providing the best customer service in the industry.”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”A number of years ago we did some logo work for an internet services company. Of the two logos they liked best one contained a yellow circle and the other had a blue square design. They opted for the blue square design as the printing costs would be cheaper. We decided that yellow circle didn't work for them, but could for us - hence the name. Also, it's easy to remember because it's a simple colour and shape.”

WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”To offer the personal touch at every level to clients. We value great customer service and make sure we're available to clients whenever they need us. We build marriages with clients, not quick flirts with them.”

WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Communication is key in our organisation. If multiple people are working on a project we ensure that everyone is kept up to date with developments. Without communication you can't run an effective business.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Our commitment to the customer. That's not a cliche either. Having worked in the IT industry since 1997 we appreciate that not everyone is an expert. We make things as plain and simple as we can for our clients by talking to them as people, not as technical staff. We also provide services such as being able to view your website as we build it as standard helping to reassure new clients that their project is being worked on when we say it is and providing a level of transparency rarely seen. ”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Through online enquiries, direct mailing and word of mouth.”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Initial meeting - Concept Designs, site development, testing, feedback, amendments, sign-off, testimonial request”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Understanding your clients and listening to their needs. Honesty is also something we place great importance on when building client relationships. If we think a client doesn't require something we will say so. It's about providing the best solution possible.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”If a client is being unreasonable we will tell them so, in a polite and professional manner. However, we always try to accommodate client needs and plan out our development strategy clearly with them at the first initial meeting to ensure both parties are clear on how the project will be managed.”
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?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Call the company - and don't just speak to sales staff, they will just answer yes to everything you say. You need to know that the technical support will be available to you when you need it too, so call several different times to see how quickly you get a response and most importantly, whether it was explained clearly to you in a way you could understand. Have a look at the portfolio of web design company, and see what testimonials and review they have. ”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”The same as we are now really, just to more clients and with more staff. We will never lose our personal touch ethos and we will never stop providing the best customer service in the industry.”
WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Mobile devices, smartphones and tablet PCs are the future of casual on-line activities. PCs and laptops will still have a part to play, but as mobile devices get cheaper and more powerful more and more people will be logging on from them”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”Both PC and Mac”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”A number of years ago we did some logo work for an internet services company. Of the two logos they liked best one contained a yellow circle and the other had a blue square design. They opted for the blue square design as the printing costs would be cheaper. We decided that yellow circle didn't work for them, but could for us - hence the name. Also, it's easy to remember because it's a simple colour and shape.”
WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Yellow Circle Web Solutions Limited:
”A website is an on-going entity. It needs to adapt and change with your industry and your customers' needs - simply setting up a website and then leaving it is not enough.”
