For this assignment, I chose five very different public relations websites. In reviewing the five public relations professional websites, the common similarity that I found was that each professional focused on introducing themselves and sharing their related experiences in the public relations field. Most professionals communicated a summary of the information that would be included in their resumes.
Some of the differences between these five websites included formatting styles in which some websites appeared to be more professional than others; a few of the websites offered pictures either of the professional or in general, while others simply included wording; and two of the websites, Iris Salsman (http://www.isalsmanpr.com/) and Stephanie Marston (http://www.eaglestalent.com/speaker-bureau,866,presenter,Stephanie-Marston,speaker.asp?source=google&gclid=CJHF3saJqpgCFRhhnAod3Wwemg), appeared to be more advertising focused in selling their services to potential clients.
I liked the fact that each of the professionals provided a high-level summary of
their expertise and past experiences in order to present themselves to the reader and potential future clients. I thought that “selling” your services was appropriate on the Salsman and Marston websites. I did agree that Marston providing a video link to view her speaking abilities was business appropriate. However, I was slightly turned off by Marston posting her fee rates at the beginning of her home page. I thought that the Ellis Strategies website (http://www.ellisstrategies.com/?gclid=CO_Ig4-BqpgCFQQRswodL3F8mw) was very well done. In my opinion, the globe on the home page indicated that the company may provide services worldwide. Even though, it appeared that the company was solely run by the President, the website gave the appearance that the company was much bigger than a one person show. I felt that Chris Martin’s website (http://www.chrismartinpublicrelations.com/) was quite professional in appearance and wording. On the other hand, I felt that Ryan May’s website (http://ryanmay.com/) was less professional in wording and appearance and could have been more “beefed up” to support his services.
