Temat: web site manager, development, SEO, re design and content...

I've recently taken control of http://globalseafreight.com/ and am looking for someone (or a small company who can manage it for me both from a content creation and design upgrade perspective.
several questions.
- is it best to get this "all under one roof" or from different vendors.
- one for the web site re design,
- another for SEO
- another for content creation
What is a reasonable yearly budget ?
thanks
Richard

Correct me if I am wrong, but is it content creation (raports, analysis etc.) your core business?

IMO it does not matter if you chose one (full service) company or 2-3 (design, CMS, SEO). It is important to have good PM who will supervice whole project, support communication etc.

It is also important to analyse SEO metters and create content creation strategy from the early begining.

Budget should be fitted to targets - but we do not now targets :) You can spend 1k PLN / month for AdWords campaing as well as 10k for AdWords, SEO, sponsored links etc. :)

hi
thanks for comments... I agree its a Project Management task first and foremost. I have no need to make revenue in the first year or two SEO can come later with link building etc when the site is really useful

but the more traffic the more that free content providers (free article submission by pruduct manufacturers etc,) will take place.
