Website design.

Having been a webmaster for some years now, I started out with what I would now call "rude" looking designs. However, fast forward 15 years and there is simply no excuse for that anymore, especially from experienced marketers like Steve Wagenheim here.

Whenever I see a website that reminds me of the 1970's, I simply cannot give it the time of day, nor consider any kind of a trust exchange.

Seriously, what would compel someone to back back to this blog often as Steve so requests.

The bottom line is, you have a few short seconds to convince a reader that it's worth his time to stay on a website and look further. This example, I am afraid is one of the sites that has a costly bounce rate due to poor quality graphics and photo, outdated text and colors, and a call to action that may only get response due to a perverse curiosity.
