So, I woke up to an article in one of the online dailies to the effect that there is a summit going on. Naturally, I google for a website and find one - nigeria dot economic dot summit dot com.

What do you think of it? Do you think it reflects the importance and purpose of the summit? Click around, note the layout, design, etc. What are your views? What could you have done differently? Don't just look at the home page and say, "It is okay". Don't just jump to conclusion and say, "d guy try now".

As always, I will reserve my comments till I hear from a few.

abi the bot dey crase 
the bot is fearing face. 

I'll drop my reviews (if any) later.
I have to say this though, that trash effect on the homertop_pop div is annoying and stupid.

Am not sure how the layout/design reflects the importance/purpose of a summit. Will a better layout make you want to attend?  A site could reflect users'  perception but the targeted audience would not really care how the site looks, am sure whoever visits probably want information on a summit's location or fees. So what matters to them (content) is out there.
There are just a lot of redundant crap and I particularly loathe when you have flash on the front page and also keep flash on other pages. However, I dont see how a better design will help their cause.

Well, personally, if I stumbled upon this via google, I probably wouldn't attend. Sure there is content but is it easy to find? Yes, chances are that the top guns don't even know of the existence of the site but alas, maybe the site wasn't made for them in mind but others looking for stuff like this and who have hard currency to invest? Who knows?

Well, I guess Nigerians are just waking up to SEO friendly sites and its advantages.
