Default What I learned from Steve's podcast.

Simple is better.

Look at Steve's site. Basic. Bare bones. Heavy on content.

Google? Same thing.

Ebay. Simple.

I used to be in the camp that thought you had to have some beautiful designed site with highly polished graphics and other bells a whistles.

Then as I was listening to Steve's podcast last night he said something that struck me.

"Business cards don't make you money"

"Incorporating doesn't generate profit"

I think I was getting to wrapped up into being professional. Putting on some kind of facade.

So I did a complete overhaul of my site and made it much more functional.

Content is king. Unless your site is very amateur most people don't care what it looks like as long as it's functional and simple.

Infact, I would say the more simple and basic it is, the better.

Thoughts?

Simple is king.

Look at yahoo, what a mess compared to google.

No one cares about design and looks, that's a vanity thing.

Dumb it down, keep it simple, treat every visitor as if they were 12 years old, most of them are.
