They lose me as a visitor and content reader. There are also nice designed ones, that present just crappy content. In the end it's the 2 of them. A nice skin is not that hard to find and even mod. If you can't design, then hire someone. Buy a 60 USD template, do something and it's OK.I am a designer, so sure, I am biased, not to mention that it takes me some hours to put up a nice design. For the people who are less prepared, there are lots of nice skins and people to be hired. Looks do sell and they also offer you a more professional image.<em>Ramona Iftode's last blog post..<a href='http://ramonaiftode.com/blog/promote-your-web-related-article/' rel="nofollow">Promote your web related article</a></em> There are so many good sites with such horrid design I just can’t stay on.
