Ten Reasons to Choose Explainafide

Whatever requirement you have, we’ll find the most appropriate solution for you – based on your requirements and budget, not on what will give us the largest profit. If you’d like to order the item from us we’d be happy to have you do that; if not, we’ll recommend a supplier that will do it for a similar price, but without the advice.

We rise to the challenge. If you have an off-the-wall question – and we’ve heard a few -just ask. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll be happy to ring around our network of like-minded professionals and get you an answer, and better still, a solution. Think of it as like a 6 year old asking Santa for a pony, except 99% of the time, we’ll deliver on that pony.

We love innovation. We love keeping abreast of the latest technologies and peering into the future. However, we resist the temptation to buy the latest gadget. We wait for the various patches and fixes that inevitably materialize and then we give them a test drive. Only when we’re certain that they can withstand being man-handled by my 1 year old do we ever recommend anything to our clients.

We’re small enough to care, but big enough to get the job done. We take the time out to understand your business, where it’s been, where it is currently and where you want it to be tomorrow.

We stay in contact with all of our clients. In fact, when you use our services, you’ll find that you become part of our extended family. This doesn’t just mean banal newsletters, telling you that we’re offering 2.2% off for the month of December. We’ll send you articles, ideas, art gallery exhibition invitations and anything else that happens to come across our desk that we think you may like. In fact, if your next door neighbour’s dog happens to have a liking for pink tutus, you may very well find a pink tutu delivered to your door one sunny Spring day.

We work with small businesses almost exclusively and entirely by choice. That means that if we happen to work with an electrician who is great at what he does and 6 months later you need an electrician, then he’ll get a referral and you’ll have a reliable electrician (and I’ll have a 6-pack of beer).

We have an amazing in-house designer. Not only is he one of the most talented fine art painters you’ll see this side of the Bilboa, but he’s mighty handy with Photoshop too. He even does animation, sings and is blushing at the moment.

We’re affordable. Not because we’re less capable than the others, but because we run a lean operation. No fancy view from the office, no expense account, no boozy Friday lunches and no marquee at the races- although invitations would be gratefully accepted.

We answer the phone (usually). If you can’t reach us on the phone, you’re sure to get a return call back nearly as quickly as you can leave a message.

Our team members all come from different backgrounds, different industries and have different life experiences. We have staff from retail, art, publishing, graphic design, business consultancy – even an ex-nurse (don’t mess with her).
