You could take your business to an agency who produces weak, insipid, bland work, but then again, you know Better.

It’s been a couple of months of planning, working long evenings and weekends to get it right but we’re really pleased with the result of our re-brand and new website. With all this hard work imagine how proud we are to have been featured recently on Nicely Done CSS, an editor curated website showcasing sites that show great design technique and are built using well written HTML & CSS.

A brand evolution.
I’m excited to let you know this will be our last newsletter under the existing brand. The company has grown significantly since we launched in 2008, and although the brand has helped position Better effectively we feel it’s time to change, although we’re not throwing the baby out with the bath water! We’re in the final stages of the re-brand that will see a new identity, language, website and supporting marketing materials which will develop the Better story for the next stage of business growth. Watch this space. (more…)
Yesterday we announced that we had been shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year in the NE Business Award 2010 but today we found out we have now been shortlisted for the Service Award at the same awards! (more…)

As featured on the Network News from Service Network….
1. We called our company ‘Better’ to be both a challenge to us (to continually improve) and also to highlight the needs of our clients to have a better brand, marketing strategy, digital and social media presence.
2. We’ve talked to approximately 1500 business leaders in the past two years about the strategic implementation of social media within their businesses. (more…)
We get a lot of emails. The best ones by far are the ones like this…this is an email that landed in our inbox just the other day from Michael at Fudge Fancies. A happy client who has written some kind words about the work we’ve done for them. This is what makes it all worthwhile.
We were initially introduced to Better through LEGI and were impressed with their initial ideas and enthusiasm about our product. After receiving funding through Business Link we proceeded to instruct Better in identity development and ecommerce website design and development. (more…)

Things are hotting up, and I don’t just mean the weather.
What a blur of activity the last couple of months have been.
We’ve attended some great events and recent conferences, and we’ve welcomed new clients on board that we’re really excited about. We’ve also been continually impressed by the commitment that our existing clients show to their customers, which we support them with through their brand and marketing activity.
Investing time and resource in new product development (NPD) was always part of our long term strategy, and this has already started to reward our efforts. Our new digital product (currently in development) is on target for our scheduled release date and we’re already having some exciting conversations with prospective clients in the B2C and B2B sector who want it as part of their brand/marketing tool box. Over the coming months we’ll be getting set for launch and I’ll be in a position to talk to you more about it.
Part of the investment in our digital product has been to recruit a new member of the team who has headed up the development. Ian Chilton, who brings to Better a decade of digital experience, has taken overall responsibility for our digital project management and is a fundamental driving force behind our NPD. Having Ian join our team is indicative of our growth over the last 18 months. He joins Senior Web Developer, Simon Scarfe to create a skilled digital team capable of delivering fantastic results for our clients and positioning Better for further growth. (more…)
As a business in the digital sector, issues of regulation or legislation have been on the agenda for many years and we too share concerns about un-reputable suppliers.
The Federation of Media Development Companies (FMDC) is a new accreditation federation aiming to stamp out cowboy web developers in the north east. According to the FMDC, “most businesses look at web developers as being cowboys and rip off merchants” and claim the good news is that “they are here to put that right with the help of quality caring development companies”.
Two Teesside business partners, who head up their own website development companies, launched the national Federation of Media Development Companies (FMDC) in an event held at Middlesbrough Football Club last night in response to alleged growing criticism that too many web developers were taking advantage of businesses.
The two men behind the The Federation of Media Development Companies (FMDC), Stuart Davies and Saheed Rashid, said that the Federation is aiming to prevent businesses from being lured into unfair contracts that leave them vulnerable to overpricing, poor service and withdrawal of services without notice. Mr Rashid founded the Middlesbrough based Com IT in 2005, and he is also a director with Mr Davies of Stockton firm LocalRus.
According to NEbusiness, local firms that have suffered at the hands of industry rogues have welcomed the Federation of Media Development Companies (FMDC), but many in the web industry have questioned the move.
