I decided on a company name today: WopStudio. Wop is for Web Office Plugins, but you don't have to remember that...just remember wopstudio, or wopstudio.com! πŸ™‚

I like the word 'studio' for a number of reasons: it has a creative connotation to it. I would like my customers to be able to feel creative when using my plugins (even if it's 'for work') without my UI getting in the way - plus the process of creating software is very creative! The word studio also conveys a level of quality higher than 'shop' for instance, which I like: I'm aiming to create high-quality, high-usability, love-to-use-it kind-of software. Plus it's spelled and pronounced the same way in both Italian and English, bonus!

So webofficeplugins.com will, starting tomorrow, redirect to wopstudio.com. If this field does grow like I think it will, I think I might have snatched two pretty good domains if I may say so myself πŸ™‚

My startup is called WopStudio. I like the sound of that. πŸ™‚
