After having to Google (actually I used Yahoo on this occasion) I thought I might post a link up to a blog post that has the information I need rather than replicating it on my own blog.

check out the 2.0 deprecated tags and the new way of coding it

After speaking with many clients and discussing new or existing work with them, often I think the wrong person is asking all the questions.  You can almost always assume that as a service provider you are going to be asked the usual array of questions like, what do you do, what is your strategy, who are your current clients, how much is this going to cost etc etc and we often answer all of these to ensure that we win the work and keep our businesses running.  Clients love to ask questions about you, after all they need to feel safe before they’ll hand over any of their hard earned cash.

These questions are fine and are part and parcel of the work flow process however it is in my opinion, more important for the service provider to ask about their business and what they do and how they do it, who they are, what they stand for, how are they different from their competitors, why should someone pick them over the competition etc.  As a web designer, developer and search engine marketeer all these questions need to be answered by the client so we as service providers can get a hollistic view of their business.  If a service provider doesn’t understand your business how can they possibly create a successful marketing campaign?

Are you asking the right questions?

Ever felt there just isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done?  Seems like the more you get done, the more you need to do, but in all the hustle and bustle of working, studying and learning there needs to be some time to recharge your batteries and give yourself some time to review yourself, your business, your thoughts and your direction.

I haven’t really taken any time for myself for a few years so I’ve decided to do just that so taking a couple of weeks off to think about where I’m going and build some new business strategies so I can enjoy the finer things in life.  I’ve just upgraded to the latest Adobe Web Design Software so it will be a good time to refresh my skills and learn some new tricks.  Also on the agenda is a well overdue web site redesign of Sydney FX to move into the realm of 2.0.  I’ll be restructing the site to make it easy to navigate, more pleasant to visit and restructing of content to re-inforce my position in the search engine rankings.

See you in two weeks…
