This post is a great example of what NOT to do with your website. In particular, I see a lot of WA member websites violating example #2.

Now, regardless of what you think of Ken Kratz, I’m sure he’s done just fine even with his amateur website. But I wonder how much more business he would have gotten with a professionally-designed one. Then again, maybe most of his cases came word of mouth, especially after the Steven Avery trial.

Anyway, what are your thoughts (about web design that is, NOT the trial)? : )
