Brand name

I disagree with 'Ansar' having any low-quality connotations whatsoever, the quality of work on your portfolio will show the quality one-way or another.

I don't agree at all but perhaps that's because of my background. As an IT consultant and software developer, I've worked with lots of Indians and they do great work. Many of the tech blogs I read are written by Indians/Pakistanis. The only turn off I can think of is bad English skills but you're English seems quite good and I'm sure your website/marketing will reflect that.

I suppose you have to look at your target demographic and what their perceptions might be but I think it's a good name.

The only thing I can add to what the others have said is to perhaps think about the business image you want to create. It's obviously all about you and the personal service you provide, which is why people use their name as their company name, but if you want to jump off the page at potential customers perhaps think about something that better says how you do things or why customers should choose you? Think about Innocent wanting to reflect no nasties in their smoothies. What is it that'll you be doing that's different to you local competitors?

At the end of the day you'll be building and expanding your customers' businesses online - you won't just be designing websites.

Your reputation will define your brand

It is important to remember that a new brand means nothing until a reputation is established. If your Ansar brand creates cheap websites and delivers poor customer support, then yes, it will be a poor brand. But if Ansar delivers results above and beyond what clients expect, then Ansar will stand for quality and dependability. At this point, the brand name's value is up to you.

From my experience, I'd stay away from the word Ansar. Imagine you meet someone, get talking and they are interested in your work. They ask you business name and you 'Answer' Ansar. Anything that can be spelt wrongly or mis-interpreted is bad news, and nothing to do with any Asian connotations, as previously said, there is an English racism slant on Pakistani/Indians, but even putting those two nations together in the same sentence can cause problems.

As an Englishman living in SE Asia, I'd like to teach the UK a lesson, but it would never work. Best to stay safe and play the business name/branding very carefully to maximise profits without alienating anyone. For example, my company is my username. A bit nondescript but memorable ( I hope).
