Did you know? We used to have offices in Stafford.
Yep, your friendly neighbourhood Eccleshall and Stafford website guy goes back a ways, and 12 years ago I was in offices in Stafford with my team of full-time employees. We did great work, and got 76 new clients in our first year.
But I do things differently now. I've never had a problem with working from home, the fact is that when we're creating work digitally and everything is taking place online from e-mails to meetings to the actual creation of the product itself, there wasn't really a need for offices in Stafford.

As a web designer in Stafford it was really more to do with the expectation, people thought we should have an office, and people sitting in a room building websites!
Well, that's expensive, and guess who pays for it all? Yep, the client.
But that expectation has changed somewhat since Covid, there's been a global awakening that actually, working from home is just as productive, and can cut costs right down, and that means lower cost to the client.
Now I run Eccleshall Websites, myself and my team of freelancers all work from home, I have a trusted team of experts who all work on a job-by-job basis, meaning that you pay for work we actually do, and not for the times when it's quiet and we just want a monthly wage.
That's much fairer on everyone, and after spending a long time building the right team, I now have a group of people who are motivated to do excellent work and not relax into bad habits because the salary is going to roll in anyhow. It's good business practice, and it's better for our clients for price and quality of work.
