Here’s a good example of how much difference a makeover can make to a site…
Before/After: Here is a quick comparison between the original design and my 30 minute redesign. Sure, my design could be more polished, but I believe that a lot of the basic elements have been improved upon, creating a more pleasant browsing experience.

I certainly did – I think this one is your best one yet.

Good example Trish.
I’m coming to appreciate a strong sense of visual design more and more – I really need to subscribe to John McWade I think…..it’s not a money thing, it’s a time thing…..

Hi Trisha
Came over from Paul Wolfe’s site via your comment.
My answer?
Yes it is worth getting a web design makeover.
Great example you chose to make your point.
