Field Notes Inside an Integrated Communications Agency

While minding my own business on three different occasions of surfing the web I came across some great art gallery sites. My wife and I are art lovers. These artists were good and the prices reasonable.

With each discovery I said to myself, “I love this gallery!” Each site had a section to purchase on-line.

I bit.

Sadly each time, the on-line purchases didn’t go through. So I called. And each time all three galleries said, “Oh, we don’t do that any more. I don’t know how you got this number.” Newsflash: I got the bleeping number ‘cause YOU put it on YOUR web site to SELL YOUR CRAP.

Like all good cobblers’ children, Capstrat struggles to build fresh content throughout our various web properties. We try really hard but still could be better. At least we see the value.

This is puzzling. You design and program a site, then host it. All these events cost money and time. Why don’t people take them down after they no longer do business?

It’s not like they have to unprogram it. What’s your favorite Web peeve?
