We had the good fortune of connecting with Anthony Kinsey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my business was very simple. First i thought about what my niche would be and who my target audience would be. I wanted to target local small business and e-commerce businesses. Next, i wanted to understand what their pain points are. Whether its outdated websites, ineffective digital marketing strategies, or poor user experience. I want my unique skill sets to attract potential clients. Next, i wanted to build a portfolio. Showcasing my work that i designed for my own to add credibility. I wanted to start a online presence on social media like Instagram showcasing my work and services. I also dive into digital marketing to leverage my platform to increase and attract potential clients. lastly, just network and build relationships just by passing out business cards and messaging businesses online that i know needs a website.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My Business is a web design service that helps entrepreneurs and small business. My mission is to provide professional creative websites for these audiences that will bring excitement and success to their business. What sets me apart is my willingness to gravitate to my clients. I like to understand their pain points and even have a close personal relationship with them. Its about my clients needs than my needs. If i see that they got a smile on their face at the end of the day then i done my job. I’m most excited about connecting with new people. I believe networking is one of the keys to having a successful business. How i got here business-wise is just learning how to run a business on my own and its not easy and still isn’t, I’m still learning. I had times that i wanted to quit but i know i wanted to change my circumstances for me and my family. I learned that every business takes time and you have to enjoy the journey and have faith in God. I want the world to know that i just started this business on my own and God is the one who put it in my spirit one day. I always had the passion of doing something with computers since high school and now that I’m in college for web development; this is what I’m called to do. Blessing entrepreneurs through professional website to bring success. I had my family to push me to do this even when i didn’t know how. I know God can do the impossible when it feels like its not possible. Its only by God that i started this business and he will continue to bless me all the way. I hope this bless you, this is me!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take my best friend to this spot called The Roof at Ponce City Market. I feel like its the best hang out spot in the city of Atlanta. They have lost of restaurants that you can choose from. I would say we going to 12 cocktail bar they have great drinks so we getting a peach margarita and chilling out at the bar. Then we can go to the skyline roof top where we can get the best view of Atlanta and play games and listen to the DJ play hot tracks. In my view going to places like museums, top burger joints in the city, and going to see sports games.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to shoutout to my Mom Latresa Burch @QueenKissCreation on Instagram on starting her own business giving me the support and love.
