Ugly Website

Yes, this is an ugly website!

There are so many things wrong with this website and it has all be done to make a point. There are so many beautiful websites, websites that have cost lots of money, yet, they are not being found, they have no traffic, no one knows they exist. Having a successful on-line presence is more that having a great website. A successful website can be a Money Machine, however people have to find it and once they find it, you need systems in place to capture names and email address, systems in place to convert lookers to customers,customers to repeat customers. So yes, you do need a better looking site than this one! When I was a little girl I was watching Red Skeleton on TV,( yes, I know this dates me), but I made remark that he must not be very smart. My Dad said it takes a brilliant person to act that dumb! So my point, to make something this bad on purpose took skill! Let's work together on YOUR website, let's drive traffic to YOUR website, Let's create YOUR website your own personal ATM MONEY MACHINE.
