Here be dragons

So, as a company, we haven't been in existence for long, but I think we have made great strides in the right direction. The last company I worked for taught me everything I know about how Not to run a company. Ironically, I thank them for that, as I feel that I have a much clearer vision of how things should be done now, than I ever would if I have never worked for such a shoddy outfit.
Our website - www.pendragoninteractive.com is looking better all the time. I have spend the last few days trying to get the tags and text correct for search engines to index the site properly. Its a painstaking job, but it will be worth it in the end.

As a team, Jon and Myself seem to work together very well. We have a a kind of symbiotic relationship, where I need him for his graphical skills, and he needs me for my technical skills, and business acumen. The Web design service is fairly well saturated in Britain, but then again so is the hairdressing and car repair markets. Companies will survive, as long as there is a need for their services. With the maturation of the internet as a promotional tool, and purchasing portal, I believe that the services of businesses like ours will only become more important in the future. This will become apparent with the advent of HTML5, increases in broadband speed and developments in web 2.0 that will make the internet experience richer, faster and a whole lot more interactive. Flash and Java have made attempts at creating a richer environment on the net in the past, but I think the healthy competition that Microsoft have brought to the market with Silverlight and the constant improvements in the ASP.NET controls will push the envelope further.

I really think that the best days in web design are yet to come. We are hoping to push the boundaries ourselves, and I'm sure that there are other companies out there hoping to do the same. Hold on to your hats !
