If a site is unattractive, do you bounce?

Postby thisnthat » 16 Jul 2015, 15:42

If you are searching for info and you find a site that has some pretty good stuff but it looks ugly or cluttered or just unprofessional, do you leave? Do you try to find another site with similar info that is more aesthetically appealing or do you just go ahead and deal with it?

If the site is legit and have good stuff to learn or earn , then i will stick on with it rather giving priority to its look. It can look ugly or cluttered. i do not bother much about it. I go with its quality and not appearance

This site is pretty popular. Has been around for maybe 10 years.

It all depends on what i need from the site.For it does not matter on the level of attractiveness as long as i get what i need from the site.Attractive sites can be deceiving at times.

If the website has content thats worth watching/reading then I stay on the website no matter what.We should all know that design is not the most important thing.Yes it is important,but our websites must have great both great content and design.

If I'm searching about a certain topic then I tend to be more forgiving about the aesthetics. But if I'm looking for some legit work from home opportunities, the look or layout matters to me.

honestly, It affects your interest when the look of a site was unpleasing and you will start to think that the site was just full of garbage.

Personally, if the site looks visually ugly, or unattractive, I leave it. It's like 70% of the site.

The attraction of a site to me is the fast display of the entire page. And the distraction of a site to me is the ads that clutter the site as if the ads were the main focus.

The first thing that I will notice about the site is its layout. If the site is using dark colors like, black, gray or violet, all the dark colors , surely I will not stay in that site because it will hurt my eyes. If the site also has a lot of clutter advertisements that makes it slow in downloading every page, then I rather not stay because it will just eats my time. Definitely if the site is not appealing to me, I bounce back.

Thanks for posting that link. I think my eyes are bleeding now.

I'm kind of the opposite of this. If I'm just surfing, and it's not something hugely important, I'm more likely to find another site. If there is actual, legit, paying work on a site, it can be ugly as heck, and I'll still go. I mean, if it looks horribly unprofessional I'll be a little nervous, but if it's proven to be honest and to pay, I'm there.

This is another good point. I hate slow loading sites and those that are difficult to navigate. I prefer a user friendly site that's simple and clean. Dark themes are actually easier on my eyes than sites that are too bright, as long as it doesn't have dark copy on a dark background.

I also like simple and clean websites because they are really understandable.I can see everything on the website and find all I want.

Ads is what does it for me. If I come to a site so full of ads that it takes a bit to load or is lacking any real content then I leave it, I can't stand that. I don't care if sites have ads but an insane amount is kind of crazy.

Oh, I agree. I don't mind some, in fact, I expect some. Yet, when a site is so cluttered with ads that you're afraid to try to click on anything because you might accidentally click an ad, I'm out. It's just way too obvious that the site is there for the sole purpose of making money, which usually means the content is going to be garbage or copied anyway.
