Fort Smith Web Design Experiment
I've spent years in the small town working with businesses of
all different kinds. One thing that most small towns have in
common is complete invisiblity on the web. Even though most
people use the internet in small towns for various things,
businesses don't tap into that market properly. They don't hire
professionals to create and market there company, they just hope
people find it. We have are starting an experiment in Fort Smith
Arkansas to see if we can change this trend within one year, and
without companies having to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars. By linking business together that are from similar
communities and have similar needs, and encouraging business
owners to write blogs about or at least frequently update web
pages with information about there business. If we can improve
our towns visability to search engines withing the next few
months then we plan to use the same method in other small towns
around the country. We want the internet to reflect our town
when you search for it, not just go to spam and governement
sites. Anyone who wants to recieve help in becoming a part of
this project is welcome to email us at
