I believe terms like Interactive, media, studio, design… etc… etc.. don’t attract or make much difference to your client… and your work that does it…

Few of the listed sites were new to me for visual purpose

We called ourselves Bigberry Digital, http://www.bigberrydigital.com

We use Digital to describe a broad range of services.

Moreover, as mentioned by Pete Hawkins, it helps with SEO, and I’ve also noticed that my company gets a steady increase of followers on twitter as opposed to my personal account which has similar content, so it does have some benefits.

Thanks
Tim

I think for the websites using two names such as: interactive and agency, they are also utilising search keywords covering two search terms such as:
- web design agency
- interactive website agency
etc etc

Not a bad tactic I suppose, but I think myself it can get a bit tacky, along with naming your company with the area you are in.

Nice collection of inspiring sites!

But on the topic: how does the use of the various suffixes relate to the size of the company?
I doubt many freelancers would call themselves a studio or an agency, but more likely use design and creative.

But then I guess these days websites act as a front – so you can make your (insert suffix here) seem as big or small as you wish.

I use ‘Designs’ as my extension, more traditional I think but it deos the job. Not really the best name but I like it… Flying Designs

Great post and some interesting thoughts. I chose to use ‘creative’ in my company name – a CreativeMash – as I felt it less limiting than just ‘design’ as it can incorporate all of my creative services – design, marketing and web.
