I would like to determine whether I've purchased a white elephant or
am on the right road to developing a successful commercial web site
for a small-town retail tire business in South America at
www.neumaticocentro.cl This is a spanish language site.
1) What studies are available to demontrate the effect of animation
and sound in a commercial web-site? I'm undecided as to whether it it
going to be a help or a hinderance in developing this site into a
commercially viable addition to the retail tire business which is
behind it. Do any important, certifiably, successful sites use it?
I'd like examples.
2) What studies are there which deal with the effectiveness of selling
sites which use the latest in tech, such as flash, sound, animation
v.s. simple, cleanly designed sites which offer just textual
information, perhaps with photos and illustrations?
3) Where can I discover what kind of information is being sought (and
hopefully what is NOT being found) by people who might be interested in
visiting my site (basically car and light truck, SUV, owners)?
4) Is there any information available which would demonstrate that
spanish language web users (particularly chileans, if possible) are
significantly different from web users in general? (That is, how
relevant would the information for the first three points be?)
Depending on the outcome of these soundings, I may have more pointed
issues which I would be prepared to pay considerably more to have
answered |

You've asked four rather complex questions here, each of which is
likely to take quite a bit of time to research thoroughly.
Your fee of $10 will place only $7.50 in the Researcher's pocket.
I suggest that, in order to receive good answers to these four
questions, you might want to consider posting each question
separately, or greatly increasing the price of your multi-part
question.

In point number one I'm looking for EXAMPLES of "fancy" commercial
sites, whereas in question two, my concern is to see if anyone has
measured and reported on the difference between simple
information-type sites and glitzy, hi-tech, flashy sites? One is
obviously more efort and more costly to produce ... I'd want to know
if it's worth it from a cost-benefit viewpoint. In either case the
closer the sites are to my field of a small-town local retail/service
business the more useful the results would be to me.

pinkfreud-ga is right in that the questions could produce very complex answers.
I'm more interested at this point in an overview with possibly one or
two pertinent examples where applicable (ie point 1). If I see there
is a lot more there, which will take me in a direction I'm prepared to
go, I'd likely be asking for and be prepared to pay for much more.
I already have in mind one question I'd pay at least 5 times as much
or more to have answered, but I don't want to ask it until I see if
I'm at all on the right track with my present thinking or need rethink
a few things.
This is also my first try at using Google Answers so I'm also dipping
my toe into the water on that aspect too.

Rather than separate the questions, as suggested by pinkfreud, I'd be
happy to pay a tip of $10 for each extra part well answered (so this
will put more money in the researcher's pocket.
If you want to tackle one or two parts, but definitely will not be
touching the others, leave a comment stating the part on which you're
working so I can consider asking the remaining parts in another
question.
