Questions Users Ask About Your Site
- nfnaaron 17y agoRelated to '4. What is this going to cost me?' and '8. Will this site be here tomorrow?', I usually ask myself "how is this site supporting itself?" There are so many free sites, I'm reluctant to invest time using a site if I don't see how they can support themselves long enough to make my time pay off. Am I odd, or do others have similar concerns? As a site developer, do you consider this user concern? How (or do) you address it?
- Vindexus 17y agoI have no data to back this up but I think this is a trait of web developers and startuppers. We're all curious about new sites and business models and how sites make money. I know that as soon as I come across a new site that is at least semi-interesting I think "Okay, how do they make money?". For me I'm doing this out of curiosity, I don't think it affects whether I'll use the site or not. I think a better question to answer would be "What's the catch?" If you're site or product seems too good then savvy consumers will ask themselves "what's the catch?".
- raffi 17y agoThe catch is important. It's annoying to sign up for something only to find out that to get what I came for I have to pay. I'd rather know this up front so I can psychologically prepare myself for it.
