Web consulting is to the Internet what architects are to the construction business.

I've heard all the horror stories, from business owners who feel like they were swindled or manipulated by the last guy who built their web site. They were not able to update the information on the pages without hiring a coder, or they couldn't obtain the proper passwords to update the features, even the scary our website died one day and we couldn't get a hold anyone for support, as the designer had changed phones. The problems are very real, and they can cost your business thousands of dollars to correct and tens of thousands more in lost sales. When you decide to build a website you can't afford to make any mistakes. You have to get your web site right on the first try.

Many of these web site horror stories are caused by miscommunication, misrepresentation and plain old lack of knowledge on the part of the business. If you needed a house built you wouldn't post an ad on Craigslist for a carpenter, sure you will need a carpenter eventually, but he cant get you the needed permits, labourers, dry wallers, roofers, supplies and other eventualities. You would first contact an architect to draw up the plans for a house that suits your needs. Then after some careful discussion with the architect, he would draw up your house plans with you. Now that you have a plan you can start building your house according to the plans and needs defined in those specific plans. Web development is no different. Building a great house takes planning, just like building a great website also takes planning.

If you are looking to build a web site, before you contact a web designer contact a web consultant. The small fee he charges will end up saving you a great deal in the long run. A web consultant works with your business to determine your businesses Internet needs. A consultant knows the options available on the market the prices the upsides and the down sides. Like a good tour guide a web consultant can show you the hidden and off the beaten track places you can utilize to save money and dominate your competition.

The internet has grown very competitive over the last decade. There are no more free rides, the second you build a new site, update your old one, or expand your current one, your competion will be scouring and stealing your keywords, duplicating your content and dissecting your marketing stratigy. The more sucsessful you are, the more competion will try to copy your sales pitches and lure away your customers with clone websites. Who will protect you from the online battle for customers that will continue as your business grows? If you said your web consultant you my friend are a smart business owner.

Web consultants design for your business a modern web site positioned to stay competitive with the latest SEO, marketing, PR, and development tools you will need to win the war for customers built right in. If you just grab any old website from one of these low cost "value" companies your gambling that they can do well, but you have no idea how the site will rank on google, bing, or yahoo search engines, you don't know how scalable the code is, or if your getting the latest security patches and updates, you just don't know anything for sure because your outside of your field of expertise. By hiring a web consultant you are buying protection from these unknown variables.
