Services Outsourced
There are some things I prefer be left to people with greater expertise than mine:
- Creating logos
- Product branding strategy
- Content generation (writing copy for use on your site. I can edit lightly, but the basic content has to come from you!)
- So-called "Search Engine Optimization" or SEO. (In my opinion having good content takes care of this, and trying to game the search engines with SEO is just throwing good money at dubious consultants - and morally dubious to boot. But go for it if you want!)
