Sometimes you just want to talk to someone.
You might have general ideas on marketing and strategy that you'd like to discuss, or you might have one of these questions in mind:
Want a website, but have a lot of questions to ask first?
I'm happy to have a free first chat with you about what you might need, what you might want to consider, and how to go about getting the ball rolling. You might initially want to look at my list of questions to ask yourself to help you start thinking about what you want and can do.
Have a website already, but aren't happy with it?
You may have had your fingers burned with your current website, or maybe you just want to update it. What should you do? Will it be a lot of work? What happens if you don't want to go back to the original web developers? Or you may want to go back to them, but with your new ideas sorted out? Why not find out what options you have by arranging for me to take an overview of your web situation and to deliver a report?
Want to expand your marketing onto the internet?
You know that you want to integrate your website more closely into your marketing or sales activities, but what is the best way to do this? I have useful ideas about what is practical and achievable for the internet in general and for search engines in particular.
Is it time to have an internet strategy?
Communication is more than advertising, and customer relationships are more than your brochure in their in-trays. Understanding how the internet can add clients, can push your message, can weld your customers to you, is something all organisations must learn if they are to be effective in today's web society. If you want to build the internet into your five-year or ten-year planning, but are not sure what the net means to you, why not talk to me about how an internet strategy can benefit you?
Need to run your website yourself?
I offer training in running, coding and designing websites. Don't want to become a 'webbie'? There are a number of website management software packages that let non-experts add and edit text on a website. I can recommend one that's right for you and train your or your staff how to use it.
Looking for someone to speak to your company, club, or association?
I have many years of experience speaking about websites, why good ones can be good for you, why bad ones are bad for you, and what you can gain by embracing the internet as a new channel of communication to your audience. I don't believe in death-by-PowerPoint. I do believe in entertaining talks that get the message across. I offer both formal seminars, for companies and informal talks, for clubs and groups.
Contact me
Have a chat. I want all my websites to be cherished websites that provide their owners with results. I want everyone to appreciate the opportunities and resources the Internet offers to them. I keep abreast of all the latest in web technology and design, so why not benefit from my hard work and enthusiasm?
