OK: I'm not a consultant, however soon I may employ one. When I see a firm using OFBiz for their OWN corporate website, that tells me that they are willing to eat their own dogfood, and I'm impressed by that. It also tells me that they REALLY understand OFBiz's own CMS capabilities (I don't), which gives me confidence in the firm. Basically, show me that you can do. Also, it tells me what MY future business is capable of, because the last thing I want to do is support another CMS solution, with another technology (PHP), with another database, and another consultant. I think Paul's website (http://www.ilscipio.com) looks great and professional, just as good as any Magento based website. Impressive.
