It seems to me, that almost EVERY pro site going from close to all of the people on this site and close to everywhere else is like, real standard run-of-the-mill stuff.
There is no real designing going on.
It all looks the same, again and again.
The only difference from one place to the next million is the address and some small banner changes.
I only started to learn Web designing about a year ago, and God it's a fucking nightmare figuring out just how to place things etc, not to mention actually working with it. So in that respect I understand the reasons for avoiding design.
But, eventhough I am an amateur at it, I know at least that things can be done better.
Whether something is done as a "nifty" Flash or simple GIF, who gives a flying fuck? It's still just presentation.
But for the customers... well, must be pretty boring. I mean hell, if it wasn't for those pretty girls, I recon they'd been on close to any other type of Site available.
My reconning is that if you change the girls out with some other product, like chiewing gum, you'll see straight away how boring almost all Porn Sites really are!
Sure, I am truly a Web "nobody", but that's my opinion as a designer.
