About Us

bluetinweb is a family owned and run business - a partnership between husband Robert and wife Karen.

After long careers in a large corporation, we decided to take a 'sea change' from our work environment and live life on our acreage property.

bluetinweb is our way of helping people to realise their goals and provides us with wonderful mental stimulus through meeting people and engaging in growing their business.

We look forward to talking with you, give us a call or drop us a line when you're ready.

What's in a name?

How did we come up with the name bluetinweb?

We began with throwing lots of domain names around and getting the typical outcome of NOT AVAILABLE. Our moment of inspiration finally came via a short walk around our property. What greeted us was the faded and slightly rusty 44 GAL drum just sitting next to the shed.

Next came our logo design.

We like the colours red and blue, the drum (aka bluetin) had to be simple, and we wanted to include the "web" into our design as well (as corny as that may seem). This is what we came up with; three simple letters b - t - w (all in lower case, as we think it looks nicer that way), a simplistic picture of the 44 GAL drum, and a spider web.

The choice of font was an interesting selection process too, as there are just too many to chose from! Some fonts were really cool (we looked at atomic clock radio and big square dots), but they didn't fit into our logo style, and in the end we finished up with SnappyService.

So, there you have it - our logo and name design effort in a nutshell. So, what's in a name you may ask........it's whatever you feel comfortable with.
