Why the name Doors.Off?

2005-01-03T10:31:00.000Z

In 2003 I was designing my first web site and I asked the opinion of a friend I had graduated with. It was the Protech site, I described what the client had asked for then showed him the site proposal. His reply was 'you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off', a line taken from the Italian Job movie (the original Michael Caine version - one of my all time favourite films) his interpretation of this comment was that he thought I always had to give far more than I was asked for, but always for the better.

I get embarrassed at comments like this and tried to quickly change the conversation, I asked him for suggestions on a name for my new venture...
