How can we start a new web design studio? (a developing startup from Eastern Europe)

[jog]

Greetings from Eastern Europe!

Glad to be back to the forum again. A couple of years ago I was involved in one forex project where we were to provide consultancy, signals service, trust management and a few minor things. Although the start was OK the project died in 5-6 months due to conflict of interests between the traders. Well sh*t happens but I think this is not the reason to give up and turn down other promising online startups.

During the summer-fall 2015 I traded like masochist. I had a few wealthy investors. I got some profitable months but losses occurred as well. In the meantime I realized that I probably should put my focus on other businesses too. Trading is fine I am really keen on it but it takes quite a lot of time, energy, nerves and having a nice and smooth project on the sidelines would be a great deal plus additional income.


At the end of 2015 for some reason I thought that web design was the field I would like to give a try to. Frankly speaking it was very spontaneous but I just recalled my previous projects where hiring a reliable designer was tough going and realized that why don’t I have my own team of designers, huh?


In January I met my bud and we decided to collaborate on that startup together. At the moment there are 5 of us. A couple of our members have an experience in currency trading (me), MLM and e-marketing and the rest are professional designers. So we’ve decided to combine our knowledge to come up with the design studio. Pretty much that’s it.

To provide quality web solutions we need to have our own website first. So we registered domain, payed for the hosting, worked a little on our own design (it will be definitely updated) and even received a request from prospective client. I am not sure I am allowed to post a URL here so I will post it in my status. The name is DizzStudio.com

Things done:

• Landing Page
  
  
• A couple of contexts
  
  
• Service list
  
  
• Blog
  

Things to be done (a lot)

• Portfolio section
  
  
• Service description
  
  
• About Us
  
  
• Team page
  
  
• Contact Us box
  
  
• SEO texts
  
  
• Feedback section
  
  
• Online store
  
  
• Back office (in future)
  

I know DizzStudio is not a unique startup and there are a bunch of well-known studios over there on the internet. Our challenge here is to eventually bring something unusual and untrivial to the customers. I admit the rule N1 here is @treat your customers good and you’ll definitely get more customers and thus profits@. We are sure that every business could be properly run with the competent management and hard work (that would definitely pay off).


Guys I would appreciate any advice, questions, criticism from your side. I am here to learn as web design is kinda new business for me. Does anyone of you have a design studio? How you promoted your first startups? Where did you get your first customers? I will keep everyone posted on the work progress. Hoping to get the contact us section done by Wednesday/Thursday of this week.

Thanks for your time!
