But hang on a minute you say, I thought everyone was doing it; there are certainly a massive number of websites up for sale, all of a sudden. Well, yes, and no. Yes, there a lot of websites for sale at the moment, but no, they are by no means fully functioning and highly optimised. All that glitters is not gold, as you well know, and it reaslly does pay to take a peek at the pig in a poke, before deciding if it's the future you wan to be involved in.

The eye-candy can be pretty impressive!

Don't misunderstand me, as the one-time owner of a graphic design agency in London, I've had years of real-world experience in the cut and thrust world of advertising, ad agencies, print brokers and print shops. I really do understand what goog design has to offer, and how to achieve it. As far as I'm concerned, it's the cherry on the cake.

But in my world, only cakes that are truly "good enough to eat" actually need apply for that cherry, if you follow me.

Here's a more familiar way of putting it...

What possible benefit is there in dressing something up to look good, when it's not really 'fit for purpose'? Well, I'll tell you one; you could make a fast buck that way. Back to the old cat in the sack, or the 'pig' in a poke trick.. An old one, but a good one. Any market trader knows how to find a gullible prospect, and can change his tune accordingly, without skipping a beat.

I've watched them in London (back of Brick Lane), shouting from their dodgy market stalls, all microphoned up, "who wants all of this for a fiver?" they shout, incredulously. Yeah, right, a plastic bag full of dud batteries, or scart cables with dry joints, or saucepans with wobbly handles - you the traders I mean, don't you? And the bit that really gets me, the crowds they drum up! It's a real steal...

I'm sure you know the type of thing I'm on about here. So believe me when I say you really should be careful about what you're actually getting with your 'website' from some erm, shall we say, market traders. I'll tell you what I stand for - then you can go back to comparing us all.

Quality Structure, Current Market Ananlysis, Future-proofed

I don't call them 'web properties' for nothing, you know! In the same way we all like our houses to be built properly (well, most of us do) - I think we should demand the same of our websites. Because the web is still so new - yes! - it is (if you compare it to 'houses' for example) there's a lot of leeway as to what actually deems a solid structure. You'll find friends and foes of all the points I'll address here, don't worry!
