[asterisk-biz] 800 DID's

[Graham Shroll]

Yes, the web was a great place back then (I really miss that 'flame' gif and 'under construction' banner)!

I think you make a valid point.  

Conversely, unless a company is selling through their website directly I believe it is largely a pointless asset; These days, a professional corporate website seems to be a term synonymous with "loads of flash, stock photography, thousands of words of marketing waffle". 
That can be as much of a turn off as a dreamweaver-template startup in my opinion.

That being the case, people buy from people - if you still get a dodgy feeling from the sales guy, don't buy!

  Everything was a "little plain" back in 1997 :)

  The point I'm trying to make is, those websites were fine back then when the Web was just starting.   But if you have a website that looks like that TODAY, that is a sign (often) that the company may be a bit shady. (ie.  They didn't take time to invest in their homepage)

    Well, it was a little plain...
