Why does my site not receive many visitors?

This is a frequently asked question. Research indicates that 80% of the hits to a website come from search engines. There are two ways to accomplish having search engines find you:

1. Have the most relavent text
2. Have high site 'popularity' 
3. Have 'valuable' content prior to login
4. Ensure your site is built by a company who understands what a 'search engine friendly' website is

As for text, it's imperative to have:
1. Key words in the title
2. Key words near the "top" of a site 
3. Frequency of key words in the body of the page.

Search engines go out with "spiders" to catalog websites. This can take anywhere from several weeks to several months and there is no guarantee that your site will be listed. Keep in mind that a website is not a "field of dreams". It should be a well planned integral part of an integrated marketing campaign. Businesses can also drive interest in the site by including the URL in all marketing materials and correspondence.

Should I do a website if I don't have a company logo yet?

Yes. Clarity can work with you to talk through the philosophy of your company in order to help create a look and feel for your site that is consistent. In many cases, we help design a logo for our customers as part of this process.

What is the "perfect price?"

The price that helps an organization achieve its business goals.

For example, if you want to be seen as good value, but not cheap, your pricing should be 8-12% higher than the "low cost leaders."

If you want to gain market share as rapidly as possible, generally the lowest price in the market will help achieve that goal.

The "perfect price" is not "as much as the market will bear," because that price may not meet your corporate objective, such as maximizing overall profitability. To maximize profitability, you may need a price that encourages volume purchases and frequent use. This increased volume can lead to better unit cost, which improves profitability.

In short, establishing price points is not as simple as it may seem at first. Contact Clarity Connect if you would like some guidence on setting prices.
