Actually there is research to the opposite :-) When tested people quite literally find better looking services to be easier (not to mention more tempting, which should be obvious). The exact same functionality, or even worse functionality, when it looks good, is rated as being easier. I agree with the posters here that the main Fossil website could do with a bit of a touch up. If we were using Fossil I could possibly justify spending a few hours doing a bit of design on it myself. As it stands I wouldn't want to promise anything, although I'd be tempted to play around with it. For the record I don't think we need some full-blown Web 2.0 Ajax monster, with half of the functionality not working or taking forever to load. The Fossil website is simple, and is great for that reason. So I'd be looking more at a tummy tuck than anything too extensive. -- Kristoffer Lawson, Co-Founder, Scred // http://www.scred.com/ http://travellingsalesman.mobi - 10000km & The world's most arctic startups _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
