Company name

Hello everyone!

I've been a web designer now for about 8 years, and have now decided to go it alone. I have come up with a few ideas for company names and wondered what people thought about them - before I register them and get to far.

The main aspect of my business will be web design (with database development) and I will also be offering domain names and hosting, plus a little printed work (which I will source to a friend of mine).
  1. SpenMedia - does this cover the web design? It allows the addition of future areas in my business and is probably my fave
  2. SpenCreative - does this make it appear all I do is design?
  3. SpenStudio - would this mean anything to the general public?
Basically Spen is the company name, and I need that little part after to define it (plus allow for an available domain name!). Any suggestions and your thoughts on the above would be a great help!

Thanks

Re: Company name

SpenCreative is crap

I'd suggest something like SpenDesign - cause you're designing sites not media (if you get me)

Re: Company name

The company I work for at the moment is called X Design, and we have found this tends to give the impression we only design (not programming, hosting, domains, etc) - we had feedback on this basis from clients and lost clients.

Re: Company name

Media makes me think of games and animation etc.

What is the main function of your company - to design webpages and host :/

SpenNet?

Re: Company name

Design and development is my main business, which obviously has domains and hosting tied into it.

I also do animations (Flash) and the occasional multimedia CD/DVD. Plus the printed work (which is something I would like to push more).

I understand what you are saying, and I tend to agree (hence me questioning it from the start). However, doing a search oline there are a lot of web design companies who call themselves media... I just don't want to be boxed in by a name, and I feel media is loose enough to cover any future developments, etc.

Re: Company name

Media's connotations don't really fall in line with programming either, though.

Re: Company name

The only one there that you suggested that I sort of like is SpenStudio.
But it isn't descriptive enough.
How about
Spen Design Studio
Spen Web Studio
Spen Multi Media
Classy way to go is to use your name:
Dean Spen.com

Re: Company name

*Sara smiles and thinks of several spicy retorts, however, she is to mature to post them since Jacob is such a fine young man and she does not wish to spoil his "innocence".*

Re: Company name

I may be new to this forum, but I get the impression that Jacob's innocence may have been spoilt some time ago
