Here you will find more and other information. I may post a range of meaningless info here. It will be related to the service, but not pertinent. All meaningful info is posted on a main site page. The info posted in this section of the site is just noise.
I understand not everyone that visits the site will want to purchase service or will be able to purchase service. This area of the site is built with these people in mind. An offering of more content for those interested.
The first topic I want to discuss is website design.
I’ve built this site a few times from scratch over the last decade plus. There have been versions with 5 pages and versions with 50 pages. My thinking with the current version is this.
I’m not a developer. I enjoy learning new techniques, but that isn’t the purpose of this site. The purpose of this site is to sell the service.
I’m not a content creator. I like making and sharing content, but that isn’t the purpose of this site. In the past I've posted entire books and short stories that I've written on this site. I may do so again under this “EXTRA” area. But again - the purpose of this site is to sell the service.
I do have ambitions of community creation and development. I’m pursuing these goals in other projects currently. At times I have ambitions of bringing those pursuits to this site and this project, but currently I need to focus on my core intentions.
The site is user friendly for future clients. It lists services offered and contact info. The site is lacking in advertising and user engagement. This is intentional. I believe the main site communicates to real potential clients that they have found what they are looking for. I could post pages and pages of potential service ideas, and I may eventually do that in this section, but a client knows what they want, they just need to find the perfect method to achieve it. The site communicates that I'm that person. That is enough to start the relationship.
Why no social media? And little advertising?
It’s a calculated decision. I’m not trying to reach a huge audience. I’m focussed on reaching real clients. I could spend and promote to reach a large number of potential clients, but with that comes expense, effort, and extra traffic.
I’m very interested in connecting in real ways with others, but I'm not focussed on that in this project right now. My other projects include connection and communication directly. I’m pursuing development of tools and community building in those projects. Eventually I would like to tie this project in with those other projects, but not at this time. Neither this or the other pursuits are ready for this type of integration.
I do hope to achieve full integration of communities, but that is slated for the future. I’ve considered scrapping this project for now, until it can be built as a part of my other project. I’ve neglected this site for months at a time. I love this project enough that I can't leave it completely, or even temporarily until my other project is ready to incorporate this one. I need to keep this up and current.
I may never achieve success at the level I'm hoping for in my other project. This may never become part of that.
That is fine. But StrangerServices must endure. This project is one of my first, and one of my dearest. The best way for me to ensure this continues is to keep it pure and keep it simple.
It was dreamed of as a service to a very few exclusive clients, potentially a single client. That is the original hope for the project and this version of the site can facilitate that relationship.
Of course the original dream grows and mutates to a worldwide service, a dating and personal service business, and a multimillion user website. But honestly, I've never really wanted that. Thats why i’m paring back the site. I want this site to be one thing. A first contact for a few real clients.
Reaching others, and providing connections and making content all align with my other projects. This has a singular purpose and goal. I just want to keep it pure.
I won’t connect this with my other projects and won't even mention this when working on those. That is one of the key concepts of this service. It’s something totally disconnected from everything else. It’s not about bringing something into your life. It’s about bringing a secret to life. It is still completely separate from your life, but when you’re with me, we live it completely.
