• Turning an idea into a clear starting point
• Choosing and developing a business name

• Planning the structure and purpose of your website
• Creating content that explains what you do clearly
• Making sensible decisions about domains, design and technology
• Knowing when it's time to stop planning and start
The real case study
Second Spin Creations isn't a fictional example created for the book. It's the real business I developed while working through the decisions described in these pages.
The name, brand, website and the choices behind them became the case study. Where something changed, didn't work as expected or needed another attempt, that became part of the process too.
The aim isn't to give you a formula to copy. It's to show how an idea can develop through a series of practical decisions — and help you make those decisions for your own project.
Ready to start where you are?
You don't need a finished plan, a perfect brand or all the answers before you begin.
You just need somewhere to start.
Start Where You Are will help you work through the decisions one step at a time — from the first idea to a brand and website you can actually put into the world.
