While there are certainly similarities between designing print work and designing websites, simply because a designer can execute a great print piece does not necessarliy mean they understand the requirements for creating an effective website design.

Don Wood of the Norman Economic Development Corporation asked a great question during my lecture on creating successful websites for local businesses at the Cleveland County Business & Industry Council.  His question was how abuse of on-line reviews in local Internet directories would affect their validity.  In other words, will consumer purchasing behavior be affected knowing the review could have been submitted by the business owner, or a competitor.
