A Site's Value

What good is a site? Really, I'm asking.

I've been working with online stores for more than a year now. I'm in charge with how the design works in a site. I make sure everything is working perfectly. I've been part of countless site developments, and even deployed a few on my own. Right now, although I'm not really deploying a new site, I'm the one that makes sure that the site looks good and doesn't have bugs or any problems. But just what good is a site?

I still believe that a site is just as good as the number of hits it has. Whatever you do with your site, whatever design or theme you'll apply, it's just as good as how many times it is viewed. In theater, if there's a stage play, one can measure how good the play was by the number of people who went there to see and appreciate it. In short, your site is nothing if only one or two people visits it. This blog or the rest of my pages are nothing if only my husband and a friend views it. This is worthless.

But why do I still make an effort to make this look good? Why do I still make blog entries? Because this is my passion. This is how I release my emotions. So do I actually care if only one or two people sees this? Of course, I do! I want a lot of audience for my play. But what can I do? I don't have a lot of friends to watch my self act. I'm just a lonely actress. My site is just a lonely stage. But I still value it.

So which is it?
