Is it appropriate to ask your client to add "Powered by your company"
to the sites you design and maintain?
And when you see "Powered by" does it mean designed by or maintained
by or both?
'Powered by' sounds like an engine or a fuel, so I imagine it to mean
that the site utilizes is driven by a software package you wrote or
runs on hardware you manage, both on an ongoing basis. For me it
strongly implies that the agency credited for powering the site is
not the one that designed or created it; otherwise they'd say so.
'Designed by' implies to me just graphic design. Since I'm primarily
a programmer, most of my work is either implementing another agency's
graphic design or, when my partner and I do all the work, both design
and implementation. If this is a credit on page footers, brevity is golden.
I generally just say 'Website by' and allow that ambiguity to fill
the available space. It works by itself and also in conjunciton with
a separate 'Design by' credit.
