Q: How do you manage demanding clients?
A: Demands usually stem from frustration and urgency. With my experience of such clients in the past I have no doubts that I can deliver the peace of mind they require. I am after all here to take the pressure for them. I also understand that two parties need to communicate fully throughout any business transaction.
Q: 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?
A: Gut instinct at all times! How many times have you sat back and wished you had listened to yout gut instinct? It's there for a reason. The world can be painted to suit but real people supply a realistic world.

A: PC
Q: How was your company name chosen?
A: Finding a good name is a hard thing to do. I didn't want anything predictable. Something unique that would reflect my brand and techinque as a designer was needed.
Dinvu is short for "Design It Now Via Us" or me for the time being but "Us" will happen.
Q: If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
A: Come and see me :) On a serious note though, research, research, research, tweek, tweek and tweek and some more. It never ends. The moment it does then it's not worth the money spent.
