Intereactive Web Design - Sugar Land, TX

Well, leave it to us to launch a site geared for us to take over the world of web design and 6 months later we completely re-purpose our entire company. This blog was stunningly quiet for months after the first post and eventually was removed altogether because it’s not a real blog if we aren’t making posts right? I figured it was time to catch everyone up on where the company is and where it is headed in 2008.

Starting last year at SXSW we realized we weren’t taking business as serious as we should. As a result we began to take some small business classes and getting some council from various mentors that we meet with. What we realized was that we were unhappy with our current business model and began to brainstorm ways to change it.

The following weeks we went from completely closing our doors to hiring some staff to help us work through the areas we have struggled in. What we finally landed on was a departure from pure and simple Web Design to Web Application development. We’ve had many ideas that we think an online solution would help several groups we are involved with, so we have taken a step of Faith and gone with our gut and made the move. The grayness of our future is beginning to clear up as we work through this transition and we are all very excited about the months to come.

Which brings me to our next piece of news that I’m most excited about. In order to make this work Phil and I knew that we would need some help with something the size of an application, especially given our new found knowledge of our company analysis. We called a lunch with Chris Nilsson… a guy that has helped us for years work through our harder UI and coding problems on various projects. The result of that lunch is Intereactive bringing on another full partner in the business!

So here we sit.. Chris, Phil and Ryan… ready to take on the thousands of Web Applications that have failed. We believe that ours has a chance not becuase it has the potential to make money, but becuase we feel there is a need for it. Our eggs are in one basket, the blog is resurrected, and in the words of Jesse James… all we lack is finishing.
