Slow Launch Leads to Simple Layout

If you decide to launch your web site slowly, one page at a time over a period of weeks rather than in one Big Bang - there are certain advantages.
Inevitably, because the single page of your new site will be created fairly quickly, it is unlikely to be loaded with animated graphics, flash animations and other visual trinkets. There is a time and place for those things, but rarely are they appropriate on a newly launched web site.
Pointless, purely decorative animations are usually just a manifestation of vanity publishing. The site owner or the web designer feels that the cooler his home page, the cooler he is.
There is nothing cool about having a home page so urban it looks suspiciously like a mobile phone ad. There is nothing cool about a home page so laid back no-one can work out what to click.
By taking the quick one page launch route, you neatly avoid the temptation to get involved with any of this. In turn this will help you concentrate on providing original and useful content for your visitors. Now that is cool.
