Find out/here's who you are dealing with
Explanation:
The ideal solution really depends on how the other sections of the website are done so that the whole thing works well together.

If it sounds out of place, then choose something simple that has the same basic meaning and won't look strange.

neutral  Shane London: Right idea but ......'So that you know who you're dealing with.' Sorry, Frosty. I just realised 'your' was a typo in your answer. You mean't 'who you are dealing with' which is correct English.

  -> Yeah, that`s always the question - formal or relaxed. i suppose that would depond on the tenor of the website itself? // And I`ve only now noticed the typo - shame on me!
agree  Kathleen: So that you know WITH WHOM you are dealing!
