The Number One Reason...

It is incredibly easy to figure out why a site is designed poorly and stays that way. In reality there can only be a few honest reasons a site stays ugly and likes to look ugly. Why do they leave those flashing colors and why do they leave those tacky images? The question will always remain, but one thing will always stay the same. Why do these sites remain ugly? On the top of that list, I can imagine a site is poorly designed to gain attention and to make MONEY!!!

Sure, most sites are made to make money. Some spend thousands and thousands on design concepts, concise copy, effective images, and a smooth clean look. Others spend ten dollars on the weirdest textures, patterns, colors, and copy they can find.

The big question is which design model is more effective. Now, more than ever, some of the worst looking sites are gaining just as much attention as their well designed counterparts. Think about it, do you enjoy visiting an ugly site or a clean, everyday, functional site. Obviously, you can tell, I like visiting the ugly ones. ;)
