Fancy Flashing Graphics Detract From a Site’s Appeal
When a new visitor lands on a website, of course initially they are interested in a unique, attractive site. They may marvel at the intricacies of the site since most people tend to like pretty things. But when it comes to the value of the website, the majority of visitors are more interested in what the site has to say and what it has to offer.
