The website and graphics of anything are an expression of pride.
What is actually an expression of pride is to not have the Windows wallet crashing on exit. To deliver on promised milestones (beta App release). Having a fancy website is an expression of superficiality and trying to convince people of something that doesn't even exist yet. "Under-advertise, over-deliver" has been a very successful receipt in the past. A website is advertisement, the software is the product that matters. Have a working product first, and advertise it when it works.
First impressions are important and this keeps coming up in a negative light. Is that meaningless to you as an investor? People see a clunky-ass site and they immediately suspect a clunky-ass coin. Investors should hope they'd get somebody on this cosmetic issue while they deal with the windows issue that first came up in November/December. If nothing apparent is happening with the code, the appearance of momentum is very helpful. I don't get your logic.
Let me explain to you my logic. As an investor, a bad first impression or bad presentation is
attractive to me! Because it increases the probability of a coin being undervalued. I have a good history of success following that logic. This is probably some of of the most high-profile advice you will find on this forum: Look for projects that have good fundamentals, and bad presentation (or bad marketing, bad reputation etc.).
The point is, yes, the price will be lower when the first impression is not right. But the market will correct eventually as the presentation problems will be solved eventually, assuming that the project itself is promising. If you're a serious investor who is thinking long term, it doesn't matter to you whether problems like these will be fixed in one month or 1 year, as long as you were able to get in before the price rises.
I already bought in, so I'm just here to wait until the price is at the moon, and I don't care
when that will be.
The ICO phase happened last year. What would be the reason now for keeping it clunky?
