"I found that when we wanted changes he was extremely flexible, maintaining his vision but incorporating our ideas into it. But most important for me is the speed at which he works, instantly developing ideas into a concrete final outcome. This is a skill that set him apart and I would and, in fact do, recommend him to anyone."

Content Management Systems
Most web sites will need updating a some stage. There are 3 options here,

3. Content Management System pros - you can update the site yourself from your computer; con - more expensive.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Merely because you have a web site - it doesn't follow that visitors will automatically 'beat a path to your door.' Your site must be found. The way the site is constructed is integral to its 'search engine-friendliness.'
Your keywords (i.e the phrases that people type into Google to find you) must be placed at appropriate places in the code.
There are a number of trade-offs at play when it comes to web design, one of these is aesthetics versus search engine-friendliness. For example the copy you put on your site is likely to be different from the copy you would put on your printed materials - due to the dictates of SEO.
If your home page is just one big flashy animation - it may look 'cool' but it would fare poorly on search engines - no-one would find it....its a trade off.
