"I'm thinking the same thing." Cornelia chimed in.
They were both realists, who wouldn't want to make some extra cash if the opportunity presented itself? This was traffic that came willingly. It wouldn't hurt anyone. It would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
Zack announced, "The site's back up, your comic's click-through and subscription rates are skyrocketing again. Looks like we're gonna have to work overtime tonight."
Cornelia suggested, "We can handle the overtime, you should get some rest, Abby."
Abigail protested, "This studio belongs to all three of us, how can I sit out at such a crucial moment?"
Cornelia was about to reply when Zack suddenly yelled, "Crap! Our website has crashed again."
Turned out they had severely underestimated Hannah's influence and her fanbase's power. After the website was back up, the fans stormed in again, and within half an hour, the site crashed once more.
This continued on and off till 2 or 3 in the morning. Only when it seemed like everyone else had gone to bed and the visitor count decreased, did the website finally recover.
Zack said, "Looks like we'll have to invest more in our website, we can't afford another day like today."
Cornelia added, "The quality of the website affects the user's reading experience. Our focus is on content, which is indeed important. But no matter how good the content is, if the tech can't keep up and it takes the readers several minutes to load the comic, they won't want to come back."
Abigail agreed, "Exactly."
Zack said, "Smelly Nelly, you take care of finding a programmer. You've been at the Hartley Group for a long time, you must have some connections to find a reliable one."
Cornelia replied, "Got it. I remember a few good ones, I'll message them first thing in the morning."
