Website Tense

[kaiser78]

Another website question, hopefully not too strange a question...for those contractors with a 'standard' ltd co setup ie operating at single client with the ltd co, those who have a website, what tense do you use in the wording ?

For example do you say "We provide the following services..." or "I provide the following services..."

I have gone for the "we" option and interested to hear thoughts for/against either option.

Looks a question of singular or plural rather than tense.

Yes, sorry that's what I meant. Didn't sound right when I was typing it !

I would go to PeoplePerHour and get someone to write it for you. English doesn't appear to be your strong point.

Number is the correct term.

[Willapp]

Use "We provide" or "[Your Ltd Co. Name] provide".

Using "I" makes you sound like a one man band, which even if it's true, isn't what your company website wants to present to the general population. Plus when/if you ever scaled up the company to be > 1 employee, you won't have to go around changing your website.

Jeez - one little slip...

Good - that's the main reason why I have gone down the We route.

Two, not knowing what tense and getting tense/plural mixed up.

You have made a category error. You can compare tense with number or present tense with plural, but not 'tense' with 'plural'.
