Best Looking Directory

When it comes to web design, I have never been one to care much about being the most fancy or even the "best looking." In fact, I tend to favor the usability of a website rather than its bells and whistles. This is partly why I never bought into Flash design.

Sure, I think it's fine and maybe even cool to have a personal website designed entirely with Flash Animation but when it comes to designing a corporate website where you are selling a product or service, I think it's always better to follow the KISS principle. Make it as easy as possible for your users to find the information and/or purchase the product they want. Enable them to do so without having to leave your site to download the latest Flash or Java extensions.

Unfortunately, by keeping things simple, it's likely that your website will not win any "best looking" awards. However, this hasn't stopped the Best of the Web Directory from receiving a couple of honorable mentions in the Digital Point thread titled "Best Looking Directories." Thanks to WhatiFind, muchacho, and clasione for the props on the new BOTW design. Even though we yearn to be considered "The Best Directory" period; this is still very nice and appreciated. :-)
