Of Relevance

As a web strategist who shies away from implementation, I am very often asked by clients and colleagues to recommend people or companies who can do “xyz”. I love putting people in touch with each other, and have often thought that there should be a handbook of South African who specialise in the various web technologies.

Well, there is now :-) I am putting together a “SA Web Bible”, which will hopefully be a pretty comprehensive listing of all the companies in South Africa who offer web related solutions to clients. The “book” will be a .pdf, so it can be downloaded easily. It will also be free, published under a Creative Commons license that will allow it to be distributed freely and widely.

The corporate listings have a cost of R1,500 to be included, which I think is fair, since the companies are going to get huge exposure from this, and are sure to pick up new clients.

The last .pdf book I published got about 3,000 views, and that had a very limited marketing campaign and a very niche audience. I am pretty confident that this could go into the tens of thousands in not too long a time.

The coolest thing though, is that I am including one-man shows and freelancers for free. So if you are a web expert in any web-related field, please submit your details for free inclusion.

There is loads more information on Who Can Help Me.

(I really do want to include as many individuals as possible. If you know of someone else who could benefit from a listing, please let them know! Or if you represent a company who would like to be listed, please get in touch with me).
