Do you consider XcellenceIT to be a properly chosen name?

We, at XcellenceIT, have a different dilemma now.

Do you think that having chosen XcellenceIT as a brand name for a web design company is correct?

We want to suggest with the name the fact that we do a great job, and we're in the business of IT. OK, the reason for choosing the name also had something to do with the fact that the domain was available.

I was wondering if you think that we succeeded in creating a right kind of atmosphere withe the web site's name.

So, what's your opinion on XcellenceIT name?

Any input will be highly appreciated.

While you could argue that web design is information technology it's actually seen as a different industry with IT regarded as more related to software applications and hardware.

You'll also be cursing your choice after a few weeks of constantly having to spell your company name to people of the phone.

Also it's not particularly excellent to mispell the word.

So yes, it's a terrible choice but I've a feeling you'll use it anyway.

Either way, remember to be excellent to each other. Party on.

smallbeer, we have already bought this name - we already have a web site:
index

Right now, we have also created a web site that has the English equivalent of HYPEN in Romanian: it's called Cratima
Web design and software applications from Cratima

I've asked you what do you feel on XcellenceIT because we want to have people's feed-back on what domain to keep - how bad is XcellenceIT (although it's in English, it seems to me that it's poorer than Cratima).

I can't work out from that whether you actually read my reply or not.

XcellenceIT is broken english at best. Go with a romanian name.

xcellenceit is pretty bad. It doesn't have a personal touch and needs spelling-out. That makes it harder to remember.

go for cratima.

XcellenceIT 's name was changed into Cratima Interactive

We've changed our main brand name from XcellenceIT in Cratima Interactive, but we still keep XcellenceIT, because people still contact us for this name.
