This is a portal website of a hybrid web designer and web developer.  That means I'm as comfortable with design, and art direction, as I am in programming and analytics.

Due to the principle of economies of scope, most of the services of charles consult revolve around the dialog necessary to create a new product or service. The rapidly changing nature or technology in its many forms requires a somewhat disciplined approach in making sense of it. This means interacting with my client and asking the right questions and making the right suggestions so that the project is relevant, brandable, viable, and obtainable. This consultation requires two things. It requires enough experience in the subject matter, and it requires current research on the subject matter (because technology does not stand still).

On the other hand, it also means seeing the project as a whole.  This is an organic approach that requires a depth of education and breadth of experience not usually found in an overly specialized world. This means it also must satisfy certain questions: What does it look like? or What do you envision (and how do you communicate it)? There is often an idea of function, but is there a form to that function? How does that form and function fit in the intended community?

These are good questions to start with in the endeavor to create a viable business in cyberspace because most of this is accomplished using digital media. The process is to continually work to increase the existence, quality, and relevance of your business. This is where charles consult can help.
