Content Vs Design

I think it's all about content, if you deliver crappy content, you won't make the sales. I'm tired of hearing webmasters whine about their designs being poor. People don't care if you use Times New Roman and white backgrounds, as long as you have great content. (Or promote great content example: Up sells, TGP's & MPG's)

If there was a bet on design over content, I'll bet on content. When you market, you market content, not that your site happens to be a cutting edge design. Because frankly, surfers have a dick in one hand and a credit card in another, do you think they give a shit what colour scheme you're using?

The highest traffic web sites have little to no CSS, nor do they use excessive colours or flash. Simplicity, content and ease of navigation = sales. All of you morons popping up shit and aiming at making money through that before making money from your content should be banned from doing so.

On a personal note, all of those retards using flash just to be "cool" need to get a reality check, flash should be kept out of porn sites, it was originally invented to allow webmasters to have more content in a smaller amount of space. Not needed anymore, people have a minimum of 800x600. I have yet to see a flash site that has made more sales based on the flash part of it being significant to it's cause.

Give us all a break and stop making us download large files just to read one or two lines of data. HTML is sufficient, if you do need to animate something, do it with images, it's a lot easier to deal with and a lot more sensible. Not to mention that most people don't have the 500+ MB of RAM most webmasters have. Flash is and probably will always be a resource hog.
