My Web Site Philosophy

In this day and age, there is no reason why the average person can’t maintain their own web site once it is set up.  Tools like WordPress (which I use exclusively for building web sites for my individual clients) make this easy, even for the “non tech savvy” person.  It frustrates me to no end when I run across people whose web site builders are “holding them captive” by setting things up in such a way that changes to the site have to go through them.  To me, this is just a way to squeeze a few more dollars out of every client.

I would rather spend my time focusing on creating solid site architecture, usability, and beautiful design, and leave the content up to the client. For this reason, I include a WordPress tutorial with every site I build, so that I know my clients can update their own sites without me. This makes my clients happy and leads them to refer me for new projects, which means I get to spend more time working on the next site. The way I see it, everybody wins. :-)
