If you can get across the advantages of your coding to the clients, then that should work well in your favour, as you said. :) pablopabla - Thanks for the advice.

And yes, you should have the popular posts thingy on your sidebar which will be beneficial especially for your newer readers (which I am sure are increasing by the numbers daily, if not weekly) :D I follow yours and Skellie’s blog for good advice.

Actually, it's to my advantage if the other companies don't practise web-standards because it'll be my selling point. I use CSS, XHTML, and avoiding tables unless necessary. :D It's all good for me.

Especially as things become more and more globalised and companies start to consider global practises more strongly. :) Plus, standards design <strong>is</strong> better. Your company will be saving time, whilst creating better, more easily manageable pages. Over time that will pay off, regardless of what other design firms are doing. :D Someday it will be though.

There are many countries like that. My favorite example was the Philipines, where a company held a huge competition to promote SEO. Anyone in the Phillipines could enter, and they just had to make a site that would rank in the top few for the phrase <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=ituloy+angsulong&spell=1" rel="nofollow">ituloy angsulong</a> (A made-up phrase!) Seems to have been very successful, and must have raised SEO standards in the country. :) Adnan - No problem, and thanks for the advice. I get the feeling this may not be the fastest decision I ever make! xD goldfries – Over time, that will improve, thanks to people like you. There are many countries like that.

It's very much appreciated and to be up there with the likes of Chris Garrett, Problogger and Yaro means a lot to me. In terms of Popular Content, I would always say to have your best posts ever displayed. In this way, your best posts won't get left in the Archives, and you can show-off to new visitors and entice them to subscribe and stick around. Good luck in the Daily Blog Tips Comp as well!

Adapting proper web design & web standards is at an appalling state over here in Malaysia. I'm sure I can provide good counselling to people about blogs, web design and how to go about it but seriously, most people (in reference to where I am from) just care about monetization and nothing else. :( so therefore, blog consultation on my side of the planet is virtually nil. If I was a monetization consultant, then yes, I'll probably get a flood of contacts by now. *This comment may seem off-topic but do read….*

As you said, there are a ton of people giving blogging advice (from the development and design side to the writing and growth side). Really look at the history of who you are considering hiring!
