The vast majority of Web designers today are marketing
the Internet as a simple advertising medium, they (and their clients)
have yet to rediscover what the established advertising media (T.V.,radio,
newspapers) have known for a very long time - that potential customers
will only be exposed to the advertising if they have a reason (such
as sitcoms, music and news). Even roadside billboards grab you while
you're on your way to somewhere else. " Build it and they will come!
" does not apply to the Internet In contrast, website computer arts
recognises that a website succeeds or fails on the basis of its
content. Many designers rely primarily on graphics or cutting-edge
technology to create 'websites that work' - the truth is, they don't.
With few exceptions, people surfing the Internet are looking for
easily accessible information, not just stand-alone advertising,
pretty pictures or the latest technology.
