About me examples for IT consultants
An About me page is read by someone judging a person rather than a company, which is why it is first person even when the business is not.
Ten of them follow, written for IT consultants rather than filled in from a template. Your customer is a small business whose last IT person left without notes, and what they are weighing up before they get in touch is being locked into a provider who holds all the passwords and none of the documentation.
Plain and short
I am [first name], an IT consultant in [your town]. I handle network setup and support, cybersecurity and cloud migration. I start with an audit of what you have before I propose anything.
Use this as the default on a personal site or portfolio.
What I am known for
I am an IT consultant, and the part of the work I care most about is writing it all down so the client is never trapped. I am certified and insured, and my clients are mostly a small business whose last IT person left without notes.
Use this when one specific standard is the reason people come to you.
How I got here
I came to this work from [where you came from]. [Number] years later the thing that still holds my attention is writing it all down so the client is never trapped. I am certified and insured.
Use this if the route in is genuinely interesting. Skip it if it is not.
What I am working on now
Right now I am mostly doing network setup and support, for a small business whose last IT person left without notes. I am certified and insured. If you want to talk about cybersecurity, I start with an audit of what you have before I propose anything.
Use this on a site you update. It dates fast, which is the point.
One human detail
I am [first name] — an IT consultant in [your town], certified and insured. [One true, small detail: a sport, a rescue dog, the town you grew up in]. Mostly I do network setup and support and cybersecurity.
Use this where people hire the person. One detail, not a life story.
Names the reader
If you are a small business whose last IT person left without notes, you are in the right place. I am [first name], an IT consultant, and what I do about being locked into a provider who holds all the passwords and none of the documentation is the reason most people stay on this page.
Use this when the right visitor should recognise themselves immediately.
Credentials, stated once
I am certified and insured. Certified on what I support, insured, and documented so you are never hostage to one person’s memory. Beyond the paperwork: I work on network setup and support, cybersecurity and cloud migration, and I audit what you have before proposing anything.
Use this where the licence matters and you do not want to lead with it twice.
The specialist
I do one thing: network setup and support. I could do the rest of the list, and for years I did. I am certified and insured. If that is what you need, I start with an audit of what you have before I propose anything.
Use this if you have deliberately narrowed. It reads as confidence.
Under forty words
IT consultant in [your town], certified and insured. Network setup and support and cybersecurity. Book an IT audit.
Use this where the form gives you a box and no more.
The quiet one
I am [first name]. I have been an IT consultant for [number] years, working for a small business whose last IT person left without notes. I am certified and insured. If it would help to talk, I start with an audit of what you have before I propose anything — there is no obligation in it.
Use this in a field where selling yourself hard would be a mark against you.
Writing for IT consultants: what actually matters
What should an IT consultant’s website say that a generic one does not?
Three things, in this order. That you are certified and insured. That you understand the thing people are actually worried about, which for IT consultants is being locked into a provider who holds all the passwords and none of the documentation. And what happens next: an audit of what you have before we propose anything. Everything else on the page is decoration by comparison.
What does a small business whose last IT person left without notes check first?
The credential, then the proof. For IT consultants it sounds like this. You own your systems and your documentation. We state our response times in writing. We do not lock you into a long contract. Put at least one of those above the fold rather than on a separate page nobody opens.
What is the most common mistake on an IT consultant’s website?
Writing about the business instead of the customer. "We have been established since 1998" answers a question nobody asked. "We start with an audit of what you have before we propose anything" answers the one they are actually holding. If you only fix one thing, fix that.
How long should the copy be?
Shorter than you think, except where trust is being built. An About page of 120 well-chosen words beats 500 vague ones. The exception is anything explaining being locked into a provider who holds all the passwords and none of the documentation — there, specifics earn their length.
