Reporters over at Sioux Falls Simplified caught our eye with this headline: “Why the city is spending $6000,000 on a new website.“
Whoa! That’s a big splash of cash!
As folks that have had a professional toe in the online waters for a few decades, that seems like a bangin’ big deal, and a darn tasty one for whatever IT/marketing firm that succeeded in landing the contract. Really, that’s the whole year’s budget for many a mid-sized web-design company. That’s the whole team going all in one thing. Plus donuts and coffee.
We find it odd that the reporters didn’t mention the company behind it. But maybe that’s our job? Hmmm… time to makes some calls. And perhaps offer our services. Seems like with a budget like that, there’s gotta be a few crumbs left over, eh?
