Am I alone in being wary of sites that show lots of faces?
To me it really sounds like: "Hey, you can trust us! Look, we've got plenty of happy people on our page!"
I noticed that trend especially with hosting providers...
- pchristensen 19y agoIn this case, the site is all about doing a better job dealing with people. In general, putting faces on a website is just a way of taking advantage of the fact that people are drawn to and like faces. It's a more subtle version of using female models to sell cars, or watches, or shoes, etc. Besides, who wants to be the "faceless" hosting provider?
- Hexstream 19y agoI think you can infuse a great deal of personality in your site, without necessarily showing faces. Lots of "faceless" corporations have "faceful" sites, so I don't take the presence of absence of faces on a site as a hint about quality either way.
