As a startup funds are always tight and it's of course great to make savings wherever you can and whilst we know these days to succeed in an ever evolving and competitive market we need a website, the choice then becomes do you invest initially or use that friend or uncle bob who has been building websites for years?
After years of talking to people who have taken the friends or family route there are some common issues that arise with taking this path;
We’ve all heard all the talk about mobile friendly and responsive design and how you need it so you don’t frustrate the 30% + of your customers searching for your product or service on their mobile device. You may have contemplated contacting your web designer again to get on board with responsive design but its on that list of things to do..tomorrow…
Trying to explain to a web designer what you want designed when you don’t really know what you want designed can be a little, well… hard!
Any web design company can claim to have the best web and graphic designers but theres more to the art of getting as close to your clients vision with the first round of concepts than meets the eye.
At Neubreed we are passionate and lively bunch and we always prefer to do business face to face, there’s something unique that comes from a face to face meeting as opposed to dealing strictly online. However meeting all our clients face to face is not always possible.
It really doesn’t matter what the size of your business is, we all want to get the best products or services for our business without blowing the budget. Nothing is truer than when developing your brand, launching or redesigning your business website.

I’ve often said, I don’t envy anyone obtaining web design quotes. There are so many options, agencies, small companies, freelancers, outsourcing etc. and it’s overwhelming.
Because of this when it comes down to the wire and a client is comparing us against other web design companies we get asked all of the usual questions; how long have you been in business, what sort of clients have you worked with etc. So where does Neubreed fit in, how are we different?
Quite often when I talk to people about developing a website for their business, especially if it’s their first website, the first thing they ask is, how does it all work? What’s the process…well folks here’s how we do it at Neubreed!
Meet, Greet, Brief!
First things first..time for a chat. Like most businesses serious about building long term partnerships with their clients, we always prefer when possible to meet you face to face and love for you to come to the office and meet the team.
At Neubreed we are big fans of developing with the Drupal framework and one of the reasons for that is its flexibility and scalability.
I talk to business owners every day planning their new online venture and the conversations are always around the functionality they would like to incorporate into their website.
Often when I ask a client what functionality they require for their website they are not sure what they need or what is available so below are some possibilities and ideas to help get you brainstorming!
