They didn't mean to, but they goofed up your website.
$%$#@*%
Now what?
You know your website isn't working when you're not getting results ... like leads, in-store traffic, and sales.
Or your web address doesn't show up when someone "googles" for your products and services.
Your site looks nice ... all your friends say so ...
Then why isn't it delivering results?
The problem: You hired a firm or someone to build your website who is great at web "technical" development, but who doesn't grasp the importance of web "content" development, online SEO marketing, and Internet copywriting.
Even if he did, he didn't know anyone to refer you to.
So your web technical developer relied on you to give him custom content.
He expected you to know ...
How to research and discover keywords
How to write persuasive helpful copy using search
engine optimization (SEO) best practices
How many words should be on each page
That you need words on each page (not just images)
Where to place the text for optimal eye-tracking
How to keep the visitor moving through the pages
Where linking is important
Where linking is counter-productive
How to write meta titles
How to write meta descriptions
All of the above — and more — is critical for effective online SEO marketing.
Now I have a couple of theories about why most web technical developers don't stress the importance of hiring someone to help with web content development.
One is that web technical developers are so involved with what they do, they simply don't realize how difficult it is to organize and deliver good custom content.
My second theory is that web technical developers are afraid to tell clients.
You see the price of web site building is being driven down by fierce competition, so developers are trying to keep prices hard-rock bottom.
They don't wish to tell clients they need to also hire someone who can do Internet copywriting as that will raise the overall cost.
But the developers are doing a huge disservice to their clients.
Clients end up with websites that can't be found by search engines and with ineffective web content — losing them customers and profits.
There is a solution.
As a web content developer with experience in online SEO marketing and Internet copywriting, I can help you rebuild key pages of your site with custom content for a quick fresh start.
Then we can plan strategically for future improvements.

Still not sure if you should hire someone to do web content development?
P.S. For heaven's sake, you won't get effective copy if you let your web development firm subcontract your copy to bottom-of-the-barrel copywriters — not good! The only way to ensure superior copy is to work closely and personally with a first-rate SEO copywriter and develop top-notch custom content.
