First steps

Today is the end of our first months trading and we would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of the people who have helped us get off the ground. It's been tough but now we feel as if we have done the hardest part - we've taken the first step.

We've achieved a lot this month, our first 100% designed and developed website went live. Thank you to Beautylistics for choosing us to get them online, this is their first steps into cyberspace and they've told us that they are delighted with the results. Anyone in Birmingham and in need of some serious stress relief should pop down to Beautylistics at LA Fitness, right in the heart of Birmingham City Centre and ask for Jacqueline. You can choose from a whole range of therapeutic services to help ease away life's stresses and strains. After the month that we've had I think we could do with some time on her treatment table.

We have also completed our second development for Bar Sport, a Cannock based sports themed bar that shows ALL the live sport you can think of... it's in beta testing at the moment but initial feedback is good and we hope to post live links to that soon.

Not to be outdone, the creative side of the studio has designed and produced a 16 page charity newsletter for Promise Dreams. We were honoured to get the opportunity to work with such a worthwhile cause and we hope that we can do more for them in the future to help them help seriously ill children fulfil their dreams. As soon as we get final sign off we'll post the PDFs online as another example of our work.

Also well underway are developments for Ireland based Elbow Room, thanks to Sarah for the leg up and for being our first overseas client. A website is in the pipeline for Midlands based DIY estate agents Debra Ball Homes - this is such a new concept that we are really pushing new ground with our development skills but, we love a challenge. Keep checking back on this one as we think that Debra has a great idea and as the housing market begins to rise again I am sure more and more people will start looking to sell their homes themselves and save £1,000s. We hope that this is all LIVE early next month and when it is we'll be shouting from the roof tops.

What's next, well, an iPhone App, a new commerce website and some SEO work for existing clients. Also, our own website. We have genuinely been so busy we have neglected to build our own development, but not too worry, we'll be online again very soon and we hope that we'll have even more good news.

Thanks again to ALL that have helped and contacted us with messages of support... there's still a lot for us to do. We believe that GeekyCreative has a lot to offer business in and around the West Midlands and beyond. We hope that our experience and expertise, coupled with our enthusiasm and work ethic will prove a success.
