Does a technical consultant need a website?

Necessary? No. But highly desirable. A very pervasive and useful
illusion is that a person with their own domain and Web site is going to
be a competent professional. Take for example, my own site:
www.h2omarkdesign.com Now if that idiot can get work, anybody can <G>.

Hi,

Strictly speaking there is no need to especially if you are operating
locally, i.e. providing services to your local community or city. The
only advantange of having a website is that you can post details about
yourself, your services, and projects you have done. A website for you
will function as on online brochure more than anything else. People
generally will ask for your website and then visit it. It also will save
you the time and energy of repeating yourself on what you do.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Phillip Flores
