These guys also do popups - eg they come to your office once a month and set up in the canteen. The feedback I’ve heard is really good.

A similar business locally working with ex-offenders is redemption roasters (coffee).

Another really good example of how this can be successful helping people is Timpson’s.

Wow an even dumber name for a copycat of icracked. Another dumb name.

Despite knowing about them for a year or so, you made me think, and I realise that their name is really quite clever: you’ve cracked it - they can fix it. But ‘cracked it’ also means they have also solved the problem!

Looks like we've got ourselves another Experts Exchange (see the domain name).

Crack edit? Is this a term I should be familiar with? To be clear: I know ‘crack’ is a drug, I am asking if ‘crack’ in combination with ‘edit’ is something funny.

Read aloud, "crack edit" unfortunately sounds a lot like "crack addict".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's unfortunate because hyphens really should be avoided in URLs. Why? Due to SEO penalization?

The old reason was because in radio ads, saying the domain with the dash was confusing. A friend of mine just registered a domain name with a made-up spelling of regular words kind of like "leet-speak". The two of us are the only ones who can type it from memory, which is not good.
