I understand back-end infrastructure takes a long time to build up, I understand that content and users also takes a long time.
But there is no excuse for how piss poor the branding and "Look" of all of these sites are.
A few grand and a few days of putting the sites in the hand of some talented designers and illustrators would make these sites many times more appealing to end users.
Are they even trying to get new users? Each and every one of these sites looks like something thrown together by a first year web dev for a rushed project. The color schemes, the logos, the buttons, the fonts. They're all piss poor.
Its hard to find really good conservative/right leaning artists and designers. Thats lefty-brain territory, just the way it is. Its a shame were so politically divided that we cant work together.
Look at the memes here.
There are a lot of talented people here. . Just because someone has a very active left brain does not mean they are politically left.
It's really not. If you gave anyone on this site 500 bucks, send them into a site that handles art commissions, you could get in contact with a great artist who could revamp any of these sites in a day.
These sites aren't art heavy, they have 1 big logo, a few standardized buttons, and a color scheme, it is INCREDIBLY simple to redesign and bizarre the quality is so mediocre considering the investment in the back end.
Shout out to this site, the buttons, the colors, everything is super clean, simple and sharp. Not fancier than it needs to be. Nothing clunky or out of place.
