Just moving on from my last blog post, we've just been given the go ahead on a project for a company based in New York. This came as a recommendation from another client (www.handd.co.uk) that we've built a couple of sites for. It's great to get work on recommendation like that and better still that we can now say that we're truly international!
Anyway, the upshot is that we've filled one of the 2 slots left in the order book. By the time we start these projects, the 2 that are in the final phases will be finished. We're on the 12th of January now and we'll have another site live by the end of the month which means that we'll have another slot free for a project to start at the beginning of February. The cycle at the moment seems to be that the longest anyone will have to wait for us to start work on a new project will be 2 weeks. In reality, it can take this long to get everything sown up anyway.
This definitely the way for us to do business to remain stable in what are still fairly uncertain times. What is interesting is the speed at which we can react when existing clients ask for changes. We're alreading feeling the effect of this after a short time and everyone is happy!
