    Do surfers actually care about nice site design?

    Do you think the average surfer just wanting to have a five knuckle shuffle care about how flash your site looks? Basically do 'ugly' sites sell as well pretty ones.

    I know its all down to the content but does the surfer think about how nice the site looks when considering getting his credit card out?

      I'ts not about the site being ugly or not, it's about ease of use and navigation. Those things are very important.

                          Simple websites seem to work well, but not 'ugly'. A lot of webmasters try to create a piece of art rather then focusing on the basics of marketing.

                          If you are buying traffic to your website then its best not to have tuns of links off your site...

                                  Yes, they DO care about design.
                                  I'm just a newbie.

                                                      it is not important to be something fancy, but it is a bonus, as a easy navigation and quality content

                                                          I think your surfers rather care about quality of content and navigation than the design itself. A lot of plain looking sites work really well

                                                              They don't jerk off to the design that's for sure.

                                                                  Design is important to surfers, but not nearly as important as content, speed and easy navigation.

                                                                  I think the affiliates are more interested in design than the end user. It shows the potential affiliate that you are a professional company, thus resulting in more affiliate sign-ups, which in turn results in more traffic and revenue, so that (in my opinion) is where design really IS important.

                                                                  You can have a meaningless product (like the Chia Pet for example), but with proper packaging and marketing it can turn a profit. The old "judge a book by its cover" concept.

                                                                  Again, just my 2 cents...

                                                                              If a site is put together so it looks good and functions properly, it will do better.

                                                                              When it comes down to it really though, ugly nasty broads don't pull in the money that good looking girls do. So content rules all.

                                                                                      Id be curius to see a site soley focused on content with zero design principals whatsoever...white background, 12 point times new roman font and a join button. Ill bet it does as good as a high end design with the same content.

Personally with me i want something that looks good and is easy to navigate. The young surfers, college students have been making websites since they were 13 they want something that catches there eye and doesn't look like something they could put together. You have to adapt to your new market and the young market that is coming up wants something that catches there eye.

Using design tricks to draw attention to certain areas of the site, creating a nice flow. Gives a better user experience and can help with ad clicks.
