"What do you want when hiring a computer/web/consultant? Clear, concise, well thought out ideas and concepts explained in a way a business person understands and can implement. Lots of technically adept people can tell you what you need, but few if any can present it, in a simple and straightforward manner that's easy to understand. Add to that the fact that Michael has the background to discuss almost any current web technology and you have as close to the total package as I have seen. I have known Michael since 1992 in both the personal and business areas so here's the scary part, 'Trust me', when I say you need Michael. "
