Where do your eyes focus when you look at this image of a website? Having trouble focusing on any given part of the image? That is exactly the problem with the image. Clutter. Sure, looking at an intricate web layout with many images is great, but once you try to navigate through the site you will become frustrated quickly.
Smashing Magazine did an article on beautiful websites that were unusable. Many websites like the example I have here are ripped apart for their lack of usability. It doesn't matter how beautiful or complex a site is, if you cannot clearly and effectively deliver content to the consumer, it is a failed website.
People have short attention spans. If you cannot catch their attention And captivate them, they will quickly leave your site. By having simple yet elegant navigation, clear goals, and a smooth layout, your website will catch people's attention and keep it.
