To understand what a Web Consultant does, we first have to be clear on what a consultant is. A consultant is generally someone (a professional) who specializes in a particular area. In most cases a consultant is someone who gets paid for their expertise and insight. Generally they’re highly trained and specialize in a particular field.
I consider myself a Web Consultant because I specialize in all major areas of the web. To be honest, I feel I’ve coined the term, but I don’t think I’ll get any credit for it (big smile). Back in the early 2000’s, I had the title Webmaster. But after realizing that I offered much more and did much more than just design and develop websites, I wanted a title with a much broader meaning. So I began to call myself a Web Consultant, hence the name ML Web Consulting (we do much more than just design pretty websites).
The reason why I’m writing on this topic is to explain the value of a Web Consultant and to bring some clarity to a growing trend. Web Designers, Graphic Designers, Webmasters and most Web Developers does so much more today. As a Web Consultant not only am I knowledgable in all major areas of the web (design, development, branding, marketing, research, analytics etc.) but I’m actually hands-on. Yes, I push pixels.
In addition to being passionate about web design (i.e. mocking up designs and hand-coding websites to final production) I also have an equal passion for internet marketing, optimizing websites for search engines, writing/blogging to create content for the search engines, interacting with the social community, creating/publishing videos, etc. I love doing this because it’s a part of the job. It’s added value to my customer or employer. These are techniques and tools that help build trust, grow incoming links and create brand awareness.
But as a Web Consultant, that’s not all I do…
I’m also passionate and absolutely love conceptualizing, brainstorming, creative thinking, photography, and brand development. It’s in my DNA!
The list goes on and on and on.
Yes, I consider myself an excellent Web Designer, but I like to think I bring much more to the table. I’m not saying all this to toot my own horn but simply to explain the value I bring to every project or organization I’m involved with.
If you’re a small business and are interested in increasing sales, improving your brand awareness and building stronger customer relationships, shoot me an email. I’d love to earn your business and help you grow.
“I’m actually hands-on. Yes, I push pixels.” :)
well your site looks like shit, but maybe thats cause I somehow found this article 7 years after it was published, hahaha
@Tim
You’re right. The site, this page especially, looks like shit. hahaha. Mr. Locke could’ve done a good job of revamping his site since he knows so much about being a web consultant – and pushing pixels, lol.
Maybe it looks like shit, but as a web consultant he knows that content is more important than pretty pixels. Considering you ended up here for what i assume to be a search on web consulting…
It took nearly 8 years for the SEO strategy to be realized. Search term: web consulting.
A web consultant’s goal is to solve their client’s problem with the business’s success in mind. A developer’s goal is to write code to meet your project specs.
He may still be good, though the site may not be what some people want
good, i will contact you
I admire your the innovation you bring into your work. I understand that web development as well as web design is beyond how several people perceive it to be – they have their aims and objectives. Being able to develop a website to solves targeted problems or need efficiently is the angle to always keep the view on; and design UI that engages users is very crucial and I can sense that these are some among the numerous things you have people consult you for.
Thumbs up!

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python’s design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.[28]
Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a “batteries included” language due to its comprehensive standard library.[29]
Python was conceived in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC language. Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like list comprehensions and a garbage collection system capable of collecting reference cycles. Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision of the language that is not completely backward-compatible, and much Python 2 code does not run unmodified on Python 3.
The Python 2 language, i.e. Python 2.7.x, was officially discontinued on 1 January 2020 (first planned for 2015) after which security patches and other improvements will not be released for it.[30][31] With Python 2’s end-of-life, only Python 3.5.x[32] and later are supported.
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. A global community of programmers develops and maintains CPython, an open source[33] reference implementation. A non-profit organization, the Python Software Foundation, manages and directs resources for Python and CPython development.
