jorlinthinks: Simplicity is an enormous challenge in my work and in everyone's work. My career focus is in the area of training. It is a huge challenge is to provide learning and performance aids which deliver the most value in the least time. In fact it is much harder and more time consuming to offer tight, streamlined, training and job aids than it is to construct a long set Power Point slides. I believe that this kind of thinking should drive website design.
I also have a pet peeve about websites that have a “Contact Us� section but don’t offer direct, personal, contact. Instead they give an email address that may or may not ever be monitored in a timely way. So, not only should websites be simple, they should be highly responsive wherever they offer interaction.

Are ugly websites easier to use?
Maventhinks: I think minimal graphics can actually be helpful to the user. Sites like craigslist go a bit far with the minimal approach, but the idea is a good one. It minimizes page load time, reduces the amount of clutter, and allows web designers to keep things nice and organized. The best designs are often the simplest visually although they may be complex on the back end. Just look at Google search. It's one of the simplest pages on the web, but behind it is a enormous amount of data and functionality.
