I'd take this company as en example http://www.computer-rescue.ca/
They provide Home support. Yet they are on spiceworks and ask so many simple questions about adding new DCs, DNS configuration etc there.
No comment as to their competence, when you have a look at my profile do you get that same impression?

Good luck with it! That's a tough row to hoe

@Breffni-Potter, how are you planning on getting clients? (I don't have any advice, I'm just nosey!)
Always a point of curiosity for me too.
Yep, hardest thing for any new business.
I already have a confirmed set of clients, My personal reputation for delivering a great service, with professionalism in very high pressure situations is high. They know who I am and what I can deliver.
As for residential, I have a paticular profile of customer in mind, These are very much home office based clients, who are used to business level service and they will be paying business rates.
On a borrowed laptop so can't write an essay but does that help clarify?
-
Had a re-think.
Changed a few things, let me know what you think.
-
Logo is definitely way better.
-
Yep, logo is nice and simple.
-
And is not the same logo of any major product that I know.
-
Spent quite a long time sitting with a drawing package, eventually drew that. Fairly pleased with it.
What do you think about content?
-
Consider a sans serif font. Admittedly, I'm not much of a designer, but web sites with Times New Roman or similar fonts always look as though they're incomplete, even if the rest of the site is very well done, and I think that's the case with this one. It could be an issue of font availability, in which case in your CSS be sure to list multiple font options, including system independent ones like sans-serif.
font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Yomama, sans-serif; -

Just don't use Comic Sans It's unprofessional to use it in most professional work.

So https://darait.co.uk is well over a year old.
A lot of lessons have been learnt, some very exciting projects worked on with clients and actually the offering available, the culture, the methodology, is one of the most unique approaches for an IT company in the UK. Every time I have this conversation, it is something people are wanting, completely different to the MSP model which has saturated the market.
Bumping the thread because actually it's taken a good year of developing that foundation so it might be interesting for others to read about where things started and how it developed on.

You should post a thread about the new MSP model.
