I was talking to a web designer a few days ago about helping me build a new website. I had a really cool idea for the design of the site that would mostly black background with some really sleek buttons and a eye-catching logo.
He insisted that the website should be more white with a white background...which I just thought would seem kinda boring. He says that the color of my website would affect my traffic by 50 percent or more! That means if I decided to stick with my idea of a really cool sleek black-ish website I would lose half the traffic I could have potentially had if my site was white!!

Can anyone here offer any sort of credibility to this for me?? I'm having a hard time believing this is true.
