    You don't have to pay for a web designer, maybe a logo, but a web designer is overkill. Just use something like squarespace.

    Personally had no idea what acting a donkey meant and if I was looking for a party bus I would have skipped right over that name out of ignorance. Having a name that is well understood by the biggest market possible isn't so much chasing popular as it is good business. Why put more obstacles in front of your business than is necessary?

    On the contrary though, people may figure we're a lil different than most i hope.. We advertise a great time before and after your destination.. I can see people's concern but it also may draw interests... This is 2017 and the more extreme or different, the better IMO.. Thanks nonetheless bro!

    I really like it - the bus looks good and I like the name and logo. It's supposed to be fun, people - it's obvious what "Actin' a donkey" means. (although I'd probably reconsider the "black & wild" name...that might turn some people off)

    Good luck, javal_lon - there are a lot of nerds and haters on here - don't let them hold you down

    Thanks man.. The "black and wild " reference is the name of that particular vehicle because of the color and whats inside. We hope to have 2 more done in March.. The other 2 will have other features like a wheelchair ramp,karaoke station, pole, etc .. Still working on the details

    The name is fine since it resonates with the younger crowd which I'm thinking is your target market.

    Your website needs to be updated though. Try looking into Wordpress and host your own site. You can use some Wordpress themes as well to save some cost. It should be fine since you're just starting out and there's a lot of good professional looking themes out there.

    Also, I just checked your website's search engine optimization. There are some things you need to fix to make it more search engine friendly. I looked at your keywords cloud and I didn't see any location based targeting keyword like Houston. So I'm guessing your main marketing platform is not online but something else like word of mouth?

    Regarding your logo, look into 99 Designs to get multiple designs and variations from professional graphic designers for only few hundred dollars.

    Good luck on your business endeavor!

    I zoomed in too. The girl with the Louie purse and no wedding ring is quite attractive.

    Not to be a debbie downer, but I hope you got photo release forms to post the pic.
    Hope the best for your company. As many events that happen in Houston, seems like there would be a market for it.

    Bus looks great (girl in red looks great). Had a chance to invest in a company like yours up here a couple of years ago, didn't do it but congrats to you for taking the plunge.
