I give businesses the kindling and the spark to compete confidently in the new world of online business. What you do with that spark is up to you. 

What makes Salveson Consulting different?
The Details. Things like the freedom to choose  your own web host, or even another design shop. Fast and comprehensive answers to your questions. An objective analysis of the value of Internet marketing to your business.

Allow me to introduce myself
My name is Scott Salveson, and I am a technoholic. I was there when cyberspace opened for business, and found a comfortable home early on. Combining my skills with my experience to forge a position of Internet Consultant was all but inevitable.

When people aren't having any fun, they seldom produce good work. Kill grimness with laughter. Encourage exuberance. Get rid of sad dogs that spread gloom.
-- David Ogilvy, 1972

Advertising and Marketing Experience
I've paid my dues stringing network cabling and troubleshooting servers, and I've managed a serious national Senate campaign's web site. In short, I've got a good idea of how this whole thing works, from the end you plug into the outlet to the excited reports you hear about tech stocks on the national news.

My primary selling point to you, though, is this -- no bs.
You'll get the truth, whether you like it or not. I do not pull punches, and I share my 'secrets' openly to allow you the opportunity to understand and take control of your online destiny.

A Word About Pricing
Salveson Consulting always charges by the hour -- it's the only way to work this out fairly. Typically bids and estimates are used in this industry, but if you think about it -- that's nothing more than an incentive to rush your job to the finish -- the quicker it is done, the better.

Charging by the hour challenges you, the client, to complete some of the work yourself and get involved in the process. It allows you the opportunity to cut costs by evaluating what you can do yourself, and what you'd pay to have done by a professional. See my article on how to save money on your web site for more information.

Specials
Right now I'm offering a comprehensive meta-analysis of the top web sites in any single industry. (A recent example is one I completed for a local restaurant, with reviews and commentary on the major competing sites of similar establishments nationwide).

The cost is $350.00, and in about a week, you'll receive a report that details all of the most prominent and important sites in your line of business. Each site will be carefully reviewed with comments and observations regarding their strategies and functionality. Most importantly, you'll receive explicit instructions on how your company might strategically position itself against the strengths and weaknesses of your competition.
