The Corporation
I set out to find a multi-national company
with a relatively non productive website. With my mounting
knowledge of demographic and exposure issues, this
should be no hard task to find. I was in no particular rush
so I trawled through some reasonable prospects. After I had a
short list of ten companies. I then had a brand new challenge
to face. When you mail these companies, you invariably have
your mail processed by the webmaster team. How do i tell
these teams that their website is somewhat less than useful.
How would I possibly get the team to pass on a message to
their managers that indicates they are bowling wide of the
wicket?
The solution. It was there all along. I was
not saying their web design was no good, I'm saying that it
was not "engineered" for maximum coverage. Indeed,
I found myself in a unique position to enhance the web teams
efforts. I used this approach to the ten on my short list and
waited for a response.
Two out of ten was not bad for an
unsolicited email introduction. I made another note.
Fortunately, I struck a couple of forward
thinking webmasters who were keen to try out my experiment.
We had discussions to analyse the target audience, pulled the
stats for their viewing details and went about the
experiments.
There were still a couple of anomalies to
be addressed, the massive fluctuation in viewing numbers and
the dramatic changes of internet access details.
This caused me to create a graphical
representation and compare it with graphs of many other
stats. So was born the SIPAX and DEPIUM programs.
I still have a number of experiments
running, some in the engineering field, some in the
Mathematical field. As for my "engineered" approach
to e-business websites. I am fortunate enough to say I earn a
comfortable living doing what is essentially, my hobby.
