What comes first the chicken or the egg?
By: Lindsey Fair
That question comes up all the time in the web design vs the web marketing world. With the merger of Inter Kingston and Market Me, the chicken vs the egg dilemma really becomes apparent. Does the marketing dictate the design of the site or does the newly designed website dictate what marketing methods should and can be used?
To solve the dilemma let's look at the same scenario but from both points of view.
The Chicken (web design and development) comes first..
A client comes to Inter Kingston and says 'build me a new website that does this, and this and looks like this..' Inter Kingston develops the website based on the client's needs, making recommendations along the way on what can be done and in our experience what works well in the industry. Then with the newly developed website they want to get some traffic (the egg). So, now Inter Kingston will go back to the website and insert alt tags, metatags, possibly change some text, add some viral marketing tricks, etc. They may even need to change some of the design to incorporate more text, less images, current content displayed in a better location on the home page, etc. Once this is in place Inter Kingston can go full steam ahead with marketing.
The Egg (web marketing) comes first..
A client comes to Inter Kingston and says 'I think I need a website but I'm not sure if it's the best investment..' Inter Kingston gets to work by evaluating the target market, the competitors in the industry and what it would take to have an effective online presence. Using the knowledge of the research they have just completed, Inter Kingston incorporates viral marketing tactics, search engine friendly content, alt tags, metatags and smart layout into the design of the website. By the time the site is complete it is also ready for search engines, email, links and traditional advertising.
So what did our little roll play tell us? No matter which way you start your project, the chicken first or the egg first, the result is still the same ...the website has to be worth marketing before you try to market it and worth building before you build it. The easiest way (and usually most cost effective) to go about it is to start with the 'egg'. Plan your website and where you want it to go before you focus on the design. Once you have the plan down, your web development team should be able to look at both the chicken and the egg to ensure that they both happen at the same time. You don't want to end up with a chicken omelette!

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.

The Chicken: there would be no egg if there is no chicken to lay it, and there would be no chicken to sit on it to keep it warm so it could develope into the chicken, so the chicken must of come first LOL

The chicken of course. without the chicken there would be no egg. chicken were not always hatched through an egg. they used to just pop out and be vulnerable due to other pray and bad weather.
Now they have a shell suit to protect them. Evolution at its best.

The chicken comes first, but at a lower evolutionary step. It eventually develops sexual reproduction with the unique step of incubating an egg outside of the womb. Ta da!

First... Lizards.. than "Archaeopteryx"...than birds (chikens :)) )
Lizard came from fish... "most" of the fish multiply using "spawn"... The eggs are a "evolution" to those spawn according to some scientist... From this "strange" logic you question is transformed in... what cames first...the first lizard (ancestor of Archaeopteryx) or the egg who gaved birth to this one... Too faar away to "remember" :)).
Note:
Archaeopteryx - the first "bird" known to have feathers...
