about burning flag

Though every site has a different style and a different feel there are a few things that people want to know. One of these is the history, ethics and targets of the company who own the site. No matter what style of writing is present in the rest of your site the about us page should be informative and detailed - but not boring! People need to know that you are professional organisation, even if you are the UKs #1 manufacturer of whoopie cushions and false noses.

Burning Flag, established in 1998 and incorporated in January 2006 to become Burning Flag Ltd. was started by a group of college friends who wanted to ensure that their friendship would travel well beyond college. By starting a business together, Joshua Entwistle, Christopher Davis, Philip Davis, Andrew Humphries and Oliver Hague hoped they could hold their group together. Unfortunatly this theory did not hold and only three of the five origional members still work for Burning Flag.

Philip Davis, Chris' brother, has recently rejoined the team after a period of time studying at Huddersfield University. A keen member of the TA and an excelent people person, Philip will be taking over our marketing and PR operations over the next few months. Philip has little experience with computer software, his expertise being in design and site functionality.

The Burning Flag tagline, 'A Revolution In...', shows our commitment to doing things a little differently.

We are fair. We base the cost of our products soley on the amount of effort we have to put in, not the percieved value of the site in question. This means we can standardise our prices. This means that our clients feel free to express any lack of knowledge on their part secure in the knowledge that it doesn't matter how much we think they can pay, they will only be charged for work done.

We like people. Not any particular sort of people, just people in general. Burning Flag has a commitment to making people feel good about their new sites. We will go out of our way to make sure the web development experience is as fast and as painless as possible. We have heard hundreds of stories about people being left in the learch by their web development teams. Some were waiting months for their site - others were left with a half functional site and no way to get to the source or server to fix it. We have delt with people in both of these situations - we have never created it but we have always fixed it.

We like good looking sites. I mean, it stands to reason - we're a web design agency. The one thing a lot of web design agencies forget is that - with form must come function. Its no good having a fantasic website that will only work on 1% of browsers or can't be viewed by computer users with accessibility issues. Burning flag has dedicated Graphics and Technical teams. Both are specialists in their field and only moonlight in the other. This provieds a service which generates fantastic looking sites which also work on (almost - no one is perfect) all browsers and platforms. Our sites even work on mobile phones and PDAs.

We only commit if we know we can deliver. Our sites will be on time every time. If you have an urgent requirement we will cross hell, highwater and weekends to meet it. Our detailed quotes will break down exactly what you will get and how much it will cost. If you wish to remove features from the quote you can see exactly what you will save and where - our representatives will make you aware of the consequences of the alteration and then draw up an alternative quotation.

Burning flag intend to continue this commitment forward into the next phase of their business. Until January 2006, Burning Flag was a strictly bedroom-based business operated in spare time by the founding members. In December, 2005 Burning Flag got an offer they would have been foolish to turn down.

The offer came from ESquare directors Lisa and Damian Evans and included office space and a set of jobs to help us set up. The only catch was that Burning Flag had to move 200 miles from Manchester to Cardiff. We packed and moved. One month later Burning Flag Ltd was born into The Coal Exchange, working closely with Triptych Marketing and Esquare Accounting to form a perfect base for small and startup busineses.

It has taken six months to get to a point where Burning Flag can consider launching its own products independently from Triptych and Esquare, though all offerings are backed by these sister companies. With the launch of our new website, integrated eCommerce system and a whole page of existing clients we feel that Burning Flag is ready the put its foot down.

So where can you expect to see Burning Flag in the future? Without giving too much away too soon it is hard to say. We have our sights set on a number of fields ranging from telecoms to full blown commercial ventures. Keep your eyes on http://www.adquiesco.com For the Adquiesco fine furniture range.
