Brisbane Web Designer is run by me, Dan Norris and was set up to provide support and resources to small business owners around Australia. It’s one of many sites in my network all part of my web design business, Web Circle which I started in 2006.
Here is the story of how it all started.
In 2006 I had never built a website before. I didn’t have any clients but I was very keen and perhaps a little bit naive….
Most web design companies operate under a sales model where the boss man (or lady) relies on boozy lunches and networks to drum up work. This was never how I wanted to run my business – plus I don’t have enough mates. I decided early on to operate under a service model where the only way we can get new work was through word of mouth and via Google.
We have never advertised a lot. At the moment we don’t advertise at all so we are driven to provide great service and constantly keep our site packed with useful content to encourage people to spread the word about what we do. This way we grow through people finding us through Google and via Word of mouth. It keeps our costs low and means we can offer great value to customers.
Over the last 5 years we have gradually built our list of clients to what it is today of around two hundred or so, mostly small businesses all around Australia.
I have always made sure we don’t have any ways of operating that lock our clients into using us. So I know that the only way we can build the business is to keep our clients happy. The number and quality of the client comments on this site are a reflection of how well we continue to do this.
This is how I like to do business and I know there are others who appreciate it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Dan Norris
