keeping it simple always paid off for me. it is what made me think i could do this for a living. i saw sites like the hun, persian kitty, greenguy, and such. looked easy enough to me. found you needed a tiny bit more when i found avs sites design wise but again nothing complex or that required any real funds aside from buying the content.
yes i know damn well the sites i listed where right place, right time, high traffic megasites. i just figured it something could still be that successful and the owners did not spend more latter on to make it look better well after they could afford it that perhaps design can be sometimes overrated.

i just want fast loading, easy to navigate, straight to the point sites.

saw metas new post.
not as worried, as paysites can be slightly different creatures but still no need to pay large sums every time unless your trying to look super pro.
