Hi all, on a site like trickmagic dot com, its basic cookie cutter design or look for a site like this. Has anyone see results that show a "Better" design or a design that looks more modern (web 2.0 ish) works better or worse?

Even if they do make more money I still like my good looking and simplistic designs.

I disagree. I think Digg and Flickr are both beautiful and functional. Del.iciou.us is ugly, but functional. And there are many Web 2.0 sites that are quite nice. Here are a few:Of course, beauty is a subjective quality, but to say that these sites are ugly? Nahhh...

it's kind of hard, because I have not ever compared a good design on a domain compared to a web 2.0 on the same domain. I do think that clean, professional, and easy on the eyes will make the most money in the long run.

Some of them are very nice looking sites I agree. There are plenty of other great looking web 2.0 style websites out there!

Most ugly websites do get more visits.. I think people are primarily there for the content.. But people are starting to change! Designs sites all the way!:thumbup:
