Working on a new trading platform and need your advice

1 pointmelita2 comments

Our team is trying to offer a new and different service for young designers and those smaller businesses who might need their designs. Do you have any advice how to improve it? Would you consider joining it and if so, why? sillytrader.com

I have worked for several ISPs that sold design services. Something the good ones had that I didn't think was obvious is project management via a dedicated project manager (one manager to many projects). I assume you tap a global market of online designers -- if not you should.

Why was this helpful? A friendly arbiter between the parties is often useful. Good designers are not always good communicators and planners. Many small businesses have very little experience in marketing, and a project manager helps with expectations and requisites for a timely conclusion to the project.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. Yes, we're targeting a global audience but it will take time to get there. We're also in the process of changing the name and specifying the serevice description just to make it clearer. We're a team of six but only two of them are in charge of marketing and further development. Thank you again. What about the overall idea of the service - do you find in interesting?
