But,
there still are exceptions. Exceptions, that possibly had not cared
to hire the supremest of the design industry or, may be, had failed
to get the best out of the best
website design company
hired. Exceptions, that, by definition, have broken all the rules
followed by every good custom website design company,
and still is making huge money. They are famous by business and don't
care how they look. They are the sites that look ugly, but still
manage to warm up their pocketbook. And we are left with a question –
do aesthetics really matter for a website?
Although
exceptions don't make a rule, here's a list of such sites on the
World Wide Web:
eBay:
The
eBay site is hideous. The logo is even more unappealing. Things were
even tackier back in the 1990s when this e-commerce platform had
haphazardly stuck banners, buttons and the childish, primary color
inspired logo everywhere over the site. The site has changed a lot
since then. It's more clean and clear now with better navigability.
But, still and all, the logo, although popular, is still an eyesore.
But,
here's the reason behind such unorganized, willy-nilly a site –
eBay wants you to redirect to product pages with all haste. Time's
money and no one better than eBay portrays it so well. Who cares
hiring the best
custom website design
company when the profits
are already huge without it?
PlentyOfFish:
No,
it doesn't sell fish. In fact, it's a dating site popular in the
States and Canada. It's free and has 76,000,000
registered users as of February, 2014. And apparently, PlentyOfFish
probably has never cared to bother about the site aesthetics, let
alone hiring a great or even, at least, a good
affordable
website design
professional for that cause. But again, does it matter? No, it
doesn't. The site's earning plenty, anyway.
Google:
I
had saved it for later.
So, how much has the site really changed since its birth?
Surprisingly, only subtly. It's not interested in turning flashy, nor
is it inclined toward some layered, complex design. Keep it simple –
this is the only rule the Google site follows. To designers, the
site, according to rule, is ugly. There's nothing creative about it.
But, the rest of us know how famous it is – the undisputed king of
all search engines. And yes, it's earning billions.
Low
maintenance is not always bad. Like the popular saying goes – “all
that glitters ain’t gold.” But, of course, this certainly doesn't
mean you should forget about my earlier posts.
