A Name Change Is A Coming

Yep, after almost 10 years we've made the name move from Tailored Consulting to Tailored Web Services.

We're making this move to reflect the changing structure and positioning of the business in an effort to positively influence the key decision makers of our target market, blah, blah, blah!

The Real Reason For The Change - Our Name Is Stupid

Ok, ok. The real reason is because Tailored Consulting is a stupid name and doesn't actually say what we do. And that's kind of dumb.

I'm not blaming anyone for that name (but if I did it would be Mel!) - it seemed decent enough all those years ago. But now it just seems, well, stupid and unhelpful.

So out with the stupid old and in with the new/descriptive/relevant.
Same people, same skills, same service, same everything - just a better name.

Cheers

Brendon

Love It!!

A lot fresher than the old one. Also the name is a good idea.

Very Impressed!
Great new logo! Very web 2.0 - ish!

Did you use a logo contest?
Funky!

Yes, now you'll be doing what it says on the tin!

Good move and nice logo.
Excellent idea, Brendon. I did a lot of business with a small firm who called themselves XYZ Consulting. hat they did at the beginning was some very high-tech specialized mapping services. They then migrated into tracking vehicles with GPS on their specialized maps. Eventually, they were bought by their largest client and no longer exist as a separate entity.

Hard to say, given the way their business changed just what name they should have used, but "Consulting" was never a smart one ... people would call just to find out what we did and many times a propect would say,"I don't want a "consultant" I want someone who can do this work for me.

I don't think "consulting" is a very good image to project in today's world ... I never look twice at 'consulting' offer ... but offers that promise me profit, I always at least read.

Best of luck to you all there at Tailored Web Services.
