I consider the Web Pages That Suck site, http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com ,
as mandatory reading for all website designers.
One rule there that applies, in particular, to this discussion:

Cool pages suck.

Read that. Then read it again. Memorize it. Take it to heart.
It's not about being cool, or having slick visuals, or any such surface
crap. It's about the content, dammit!

Interesting. I had a look at that web site, and in my opinion that site itself suffers from a couple of sins it complains of.

I also disagree with the comment "Cool pages suck.". There's no reason a site with useful content can't look "cool" (whatever "cool" means to you).

Cheers! Hans
