John Smith is an experienced ...
It has the advantages of I as described by kingcook but sounds more professional.

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.

Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostAnother 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.
