You’re right…there are so many different purposes behind websites. A good site should support the company’s goals, as well as being a resource for customers and prospects.

Our goal is to attract qualified visitors and get them to convert…either by signing up for our email newsletter, picking up the phone or filling out a contact form.

I understand, it is hard. It’s not like the old days where you just throw up a site and they come, lol. I have learned that the key to success it test and measure.

I’m not sure I would give up on your idea, it seems like a really good one. Maybe it was the way it was communicated. What is the benefit if they upload it vs other methods you may use? It might have been the process? Maybe try offline efforts to communicate what you want them to do and walk them through it until they get used to it.

Just trying to throw out a few ideas that may be helpful, or not.

The most interesting web application I’ve built was a “Radiological workflow system”. Rural hospitals without a Dr. to read X-Rays could scan them, send them up the line and let a Dr. Read them. Transcriptions were sent back to the hospital vai the application. Entire process usually took about 15 min. 

It was great fun to build and we helped a lot of smaller hospitals get things done faster, better, cheaper.

These days though, I spend more time helping companies understand what they need and then helping them find someone to build it.
