TWD
Thanks for the Welcome's guys.
Just to explain a little more about the offering
I was reading through the forums I recently began sponsoring and found some useful comments some of them really made me think about the challenge I have in establishing Tradesman Web Design. I have published below my responses.
[h=3]Seo Policy[/h]I am a designer and web developer with some SEO skills 0 however - the SEO on our packages is for on-site SEO only - I am not an SEO expert. If you have a heavily SEO'd website and want a redesign our policy would be to not replace your existing site but, to acquire a fresh domain name and use your existing site to help rank the new website.
Our focus is less on getting traffic to your site from Google and more on getting people to come to your site because it's attractive, useful and easy to use. We focus on improving your converting of visitors into buyers, we help focus your content to attract the kind of enquirers you want.
Please take note: If you do want a primarily SEO focussed service then TWD is not for you.
[h=3]CMS / Wordpress Policy[/h][h=4]We only use wordpress on request from our clients and only for the Platinum Package.[/h]This is because we offer a managed service with updates done as part of the packages. The reason we prefer to do that is so that our clients never have to update there own websites they just provide us with content. In our experience clients always intend to update their website but for one reason or another, such as:
Wordpress simply adds a technical barrier to most clients ability to publish and can often lead to making a website a bit messy with inconsistent design habits.
The point of our packages is to build your website over a period of time - building a long term relationship with me/us while improving your website and making it somewhere people will want to visit and helping our clients make the changes they need to for the right reasons.
Building an amazing site takes time and effort - it changes over time or at least it should.
To get the best results clients should view their website's development as a process rather than a project that is just started and finished.
Imagine what would happen to the forums if all the moderators and Dan stopped working on it.
Who are TWD?
At the moment It's just me - Mike - and if I need them a few buddies I've known for a few years and worked on projects with.
Sometimes I speak in the third person as TWD because I hope to expand in the future and one day have a team of staff.
For now I am the designer, seo guy, marketer, administrator, programmer, user experience guy a- all of theses and more.
My packages won't be for everyone but I look forward hearing from to those of you would appreciate the benefit of having someone manage your website updates and guide you through the experience of developing it.

- they are too busy,
- they don't have a publishing schedule,
- they don't really want to learn how to do it
- don't know what to write for what reason etc. their website fall by the wayside rarely if ever being used to their potential.
