Ask HN: My consulting company needs help with website content. where do I go?

I'm partners in a small web-based application consulting firm and we have a couple major challenges when it comes to public communication. I don't have a massive budget, but I'd like to hire somebody to help.<p>Challenge #1: All of our best work is under NDA, because it deals with proprietary information and processes, working on private data, in a heavily regulated industry.<p>The first step we took to offset this is to find small clients who don't demand ultra-tight NDAs. This is starting to provide a few opportunities, but they're clustered in and around e-commerce.<p>The second step we've taken is to do some weekend projects, where we own all the IP, creating small applications that each have something uniquely difficult about their implementation. Nothing huge, but little things that show we can do more than submit forms and select from tables.<p>Challenge #2: We're simply terrible writing content for our website.<p>We understand the theory of the communication strategy, but we're simply not good at execution on this front. We try, we try, and we try some more, and it always sucks.<p>As such, I find myself wishing that there was somebody who understands the different sorts of niches that firms operate in, to whom I could pay a modest fee, who would then interview me about what we've done, and help write effective, professional content for a simple site.<p>Does anybody know where I could find such help?
