The term ‘Internet Expert’ is thrown about with increasing
regularity these days.
Many people believe that owning a computer
and having a little HTML experience is enough to call themselves
experts.
Determining who the experts really are is a difficult
task that requires more than a few considerations.
However, as it is with most things in life, the cheapest option
is not always the best.
With a website, that kind of thinking will
definitely end up costing a company more in the long run.
But just by surfing the majority of websites, you are likely to
find the same old static sites you’ve always seen.
Most of the websites on the Internet today feature what is known
as "dead content" or "static content".
This
means that the information that was seen on the site yesterday
is the same information seen today.
Many large companies have incriminating
website footnotes that inform the user when the site was last updated.
Quite often this date can be many months old.
Research has shown that when people come to a website and find
the same information they found on their last visit, they are unlikely
to ever return.
People want fresh information! Since the invention
of the printing press, human beings have had an expectation of
receiving new information every day.
People don't read last week's
newspaper or even yesterday's newspaper. They want today's news.
The Internet can serve up fresh information that is refreshed every
second; providing each user with a unique and personalized experience.
Ironically, most companies treat their website like it is content
etched on stone tablets. It never changes.
It is no surprise that these companies are not seeing the benefits
enjoyed by their local and global competitors.
So leave the high
school student in his or her parent’s basement and trust
your business to the professionals whose competitive advantage
is dependent upon staying ahead of the latest technologies.
