Meyer Sound welcomed 76,992 visitors to its Web site during July 1997, an increase of more than 251% from February. Meyer credits the substantial growth to their ongoing overhaul of the site's content, and to their hire of veteran Webmaster, Mark Gunson. Over the last six months, Meyer posted a greater bulk of technical data, and a new, colorful format that makes the site more useful for sound engineers, and quicker to download.

"People visit Web sites like Meyer's if they contain information that's interesting, useful and updated often. If it lacks this dynamic, people are less likely to visit the site repeatedly," said Mark Gunson, Meyer's Webmaster. "We've spent the last six months ensuring that Meyer's site is a resource for customers seeking immediate, accurate Meyer technical information."
