Name: Unhindered Technologies (works with the Blub below... what do you think?)
Blurb: Allowing small businesses and non-profits to bypass the hurdles blocking technological advancement... primarily focusing on websites.
Business Idea: Small businesses and non profits, often hindered by limited budgets tend to go one of two routes for websites:
1. The nephew solution
You got your nephew, a volunteer, or a student to do your website. They may have charged too much to start with, but even if they didn't, they've disappeared now, and only they have access to your website. Even if you do have access, you're afraid to touch it because you're afraid you'll break it.2. The Attack of the Clone solution
You discovered that there are companies out there that give websites away for next to free and you can edit the content from your home computer. You realize soon after your site is online, you've got the same website as hundreds or thousands of other businesses or groups.
There must be a better way. You've worked hard to create a culture and environment that you work in. It's part of who you are, and how you present yourself. In the world of technology today, websites are often your audience's first impression of you. You've got to make it count.
At the same time, you need a solution that gives you control, without risking "breaking" the design, in the event that you don't have time to reach the web developer, or you just don't want to have to pay to have your website updated.
That's what I am providing for small businesses, youth groups, and churches - Professional development, easy maintenance.
The journey to starting a service company is a rough one, and I'll be blogging on this more as I move forward.

Unhindered is good, but wouldn't you rather have something that celebrates your heritage as a northerner?
How about Canucks R' Us? You could have a large red maple leaf as your logo with the slogan, "I'm no sap when it comes to websites!"
On a more serious note, I envy your upcoming venture into the world entrepreneurship. Good luck!
I do like the connection between the leaf and the sap... but I'm not sure most people would catch that.
I am thinking about ideas for a logo, however... I'll post my ideas coming up soon.
Perhaps I could incorporate "International" into the name somewhere. Or maybe something about Moose or geese or... cold fronts.
