Excellent point Tzaddi. It’s true that as active sites evolve, certain members of the team may not be part of the evolution.

I often check up on sites that I’ve worked on in the distant past to see if they’re still around. More often than not, they are, and not one thing has changed!

I don’t add credits to my site as a rule, but if you’re going to have credit for one contributor I don’t see why the others should be left out.

One cautionary note on having your credit there is that web sites (hopefully!) change over time. You might be proud of the launch copy but not what it evolves to over time, if it’s done without your expert guidance

Thanks Sue and Mhairi, I think we should start a trend!

I often think about this. A website credits link is a great idea as then you can acknowledge everyone involved in the process – even the Internet marketers.

Louise, you are absolutely right! If the web developer is allowed to get the credit, why not the writer? By the way, it’s not selfish of you to request a credit, but it IS selfish if the web developer limits the people credited to his/her own company.
