First week of bowlandandbay.co.uk website launch. Felt a bit like a free dive. Seeing how long I could hold my breath and how far I could reach.
Major discovery this week – the little guys of the IT world are awesome and the big guys are slooooooww. Took Google a week to update the web link from “Coming Soon” to live, which was “unexpected”. Thankfully on a soft launch it was only my friends & family who kept me informed of the blip.
On the other hand, Ryan at “Control, Alt, Delete” on Garstang High Street, was like Quicksilver from Marvel in comparison. Fixed all sorts of niggling iphone issues for me in 15 mins. Amazing! My other small enterprise IT hero has to be Jonny at Scratch Creative. Loving the usability of the Bowlandandbay.co.uk website, even for me its easy to make changes and amends.
Versus BT setting up my broadband…arrghhhh!
Hands down, Round 1 & 2 go to the Davids versus Goliaths.
Small enterprises are blowing me away. Finding people who care about their quality product and customer service. Where you don’t go through automated phone systems, over-looped crackling hold musak and noisy call centres. This feels like freedom.
Week 2 of my start up, sticking to the shallows at the moment, soft launch plan is the right depth. I can then pop up for air and check the conditions. Good to know if I need IT lifeguards they are local & quick to react, to get me out of riptides or monster waves 🌊 . Feels like I can take another breath.
