I can spend hours and hours and hours optimising a site so I think it looks good (to me) but the ratios don't improve and in some cases actually go worse?

What looks good to you might not look good to others... ;-)

I understand UGLY sites is where it's at, maybe yours is too pretty???

nexcom28 · 03-29-2006, 03:01 PM

My site was and still is 'an ugly site' but I have made some changes to it that I was sure would improve conversions, unfortunately the conversions haven't improved (much)..

Perhaps its the same principle of why signups drop when you lower the membership prices...

I think people only care about the content not how it looks.
