Why is craigslist still popular when there are better looking sites around?
Why are sites like HN and the one linked earlier following a similar style.
Cause core of design != look which is how the 3 apps mentioned above seemed to be looking at.
Function needs to be the core of design.
- ryanSrich 11y agoBecause all of those sites are established and have unparalleled content. There are no competitors to those websites.
- carrotleads 11y agoestablished sites with good content go out of business day in and day out... that happens when they don't have a good functional design and when better options come along. If they are the only game in town, then I will put up with bad functional design and if needed crawl on my knees to solve a problem of mine. I remember years back trawling through multiple expertsexchange pages to solve some coding issues.. Now I don't as better options have come along... Why is the same not happening with craigslist, cause they do the basic job well.. have a functional designed site which solves peoples problem easily.
