The most important feedback I'd have is that your website doesn't matter as much as you think it does. It's important to have one, and important that it shows off your talents, but as a consulting business your most important asset will be satisfied clients and contacts in the industry you want work in. So don't worry too much about your website - a simple static site showing off some of your work will be fine as a showcase, would hold up better to load, and doesn't need security updates. If you are busy, you may not update your blog as much as you plan to now :) Likewise demonstrations of what you can do with apps/sites you have created yourself are far less useful as proof than work created for clients (who will spread the word about you). New clients will come to you as referrals from other clients in the same sector, or because they hired you before, not because they stumbled upon your website or did a google search. They'll use your work for other clients to gauge your competence rather than your website, though they might have a quick look at that too. So the most important step you can take in starting a consulting business is to cultivate contacts with clients and keep them happy - if you have none, focus on getting the first few clients first. |
